Alphonse Areola
In the past, the Gunners have been linked with Paris Saint-Germain’s former wonderkid stopper Alphonse Areola.
The 22-year-old, who spent last season on loan at SC Bastia, is thought to be still wanted by PSG, but he looks no closer to breaking into the first team—at least not while Salvatore Sirigu is still around.
He will spend this season on loan at Villarreal, but should Wenger not have at least considered a keeper who could be a solution for the Emirates Stadium outfit for a decade to come?
It is not unthinkable that the highly-rated stopper could enjoy a similar trajectory to Manchester United’s David De Gea.
