Arsenal Fight Chelsea For Stoke Keeper Begovic


It’s a bit late in the day for a new cast member to arrive in the Arsenal goalkeeping soap opera, but that hasn't stopped Metro from announcing that Stoke City's on-strike stopper Asmir Begovic could be the new man between the sticks at the Emirates.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina stopper had already been linked with a move to Chelsea and reportedly refused to train with his team-mates in a bid to force manager Tony Pulis to sell him before the transfer window closes. And now it seems that Arsene Wenger as well as Carlo Ancelotti is interested in buying him.

Arsenal has been linked to almost every keeper in Europe this summer but has failed to land anyone. Now, with just five days left before the transfer window shuts they may be prepared to abandon their chase of Mark Schwarzer, the man most hotly tipped to join the Gunners, in favour of 23-year-old Begovic.
