Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 13th July: Part Three

Arsenal could make a bid to bring Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul, 25, to North London.

Tim Krul

What’s the story? Arsenal want a keeper and seem to have missed out on Julio Cesar to Napoli. Krul was on my list of five keepers that Arsenal need to look at.

Does it make sense? Yes. Krul is a big man who can take control of the box. He’s also an excellent shot stopper.

Is the price right? Mignolet cost £11m and he’s not quite at that level so something like £9-10m.

Will it happen? 3/10 – Who can say with Arsenal? They started the summer promising big spend on big players, the likes of Higuain, Fellaini, Rooney and Jovetic and have not spent anything yet and missed out on a keeper who would have cost £1.5m.
