Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is determined to push on with plans to sign a new senior goalkeeper.
Wojciech Szczesny has come under fire after a disappointing season.
The Mail on Sunday says Arsenal would be reluctant to let him go because they believe he will become a great keeper, but Szczesny is unlikely to sign a new contract while his position is under threat.
The club are scouting for a replacement keeper, with Liverpool's Pepe Reina under consideration.
