Asmir Begovic
The big Bosnian, who will represent his country at this summer’s World Cup in Brazil, has consistently been among Stoke City’s best players for the past four seasons.
He is 26 – two years older than Szczesny – but he would certainly keep the Pole on his toes and would have no problem replacing the Gunners number one should he slip up.
The Metro reported last month that Arsenal were in talks with Stoke regarding a potential £8m move for Begovic.
