Arsenal have already signed a new ‘keeper this summer, bringing in Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen, though there may be need for another depending on the futures of other players.
The Sun link Petr Cech with Roma and Chelsea, while David Ospina has been largely unconvincing as a backup in his time in north London so far.
Sommer’s arrival could give Emery the ideal opportunity to pick between him and Leno as first choice, giving him two upgrades between the sticks after years of disappointing display from Cech and Ospina.
Arsenal have been busy reshaping their squad under Emery, bringing in Stephan Lichtsteiner, Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi.
