Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger may have
decided he simply must bring in a top keeper for next season.

goalkeeper Rene Adler
Widely considered to be one of the best keepers in Europe, he is
contracted with Leverkusen until 2012, but Arsenal could make their
move according to German newspaper Bild.
Meanwhile Brentford loan star Wojciech Szczesny has vowed to
become Arsenal's number one next season.
The Polish international has starred in his five-month stint at
Griffin Park, with Bees boss Andy Scott keen to keep him.
But Szczesny has set his sights on a first-team spot with the
Gunners, saying:'I'm going to go back there and fight for the
number one spot.
'I believe I'm good enough to do a job for Arsenal and if I'm
given a chance I'm sure I'll take it.
'Hopefully I will eventually become Arsenal's number one.'
