Revealed! Arsenal identify Petr Cech replacement

Arsenal have expressed an interest in Valencia goalkeeper Neto, with Gunners boss Unai Emery said to have already met with the Brazilian over a potential move to the Emirates Stadium this summer. The Gunners are in the market for a new goalkeeper this summer with Petr Cech poised to play his last-ever match as a professional footballer before he retires; the Czech bowing out in the Europa League final against former club, Chelsea.
And according to Plaza Deportiva, Emery has set his sights high in his hunt for a replacement, with impressive Los Che star Neto at the very top of his shopping list.

The Brazilian has established himself as one of the leading keepers in LaLiga and was said to have impressed Emery further when Valencia and Arsenal went head to head in the Europa League semi-finals recently.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have received another lift in the transfer market, with a rumoured target strongly tipped to leave for the Gunners this summer. Belgian winger Leandro Trossard has been strongly linked with the Gunners in recent weeks – with his agent suggesting earlier this month that a move to north London was a strong possibility.
The Belgian winger, believed to be valued at around €25m, has now confirmed he won’t stay at Genk beyond this summer. “Sunday’s game against Standard Liege might be my last one in a Genk shirt,” he told reporters.

Trossard would most likely replace Danny Welbeck in Arsenal’s attack next season, has 22 goals and 11 assists for Genk this season and reports in the Belgian media believe a move to Arsenal is close to being agreed.
