Arsenal boss Wenger warns Szczesny of Ospina competition

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to welcome Nice goalkeeper David Ospina to the club. The Gunners have agreed a £3.2million fee with Nice for the keeper who starred for Colombia at the World Cup - helping them to reach the quarter-finals before losing to hosts Brazil.

It was believed that the 25-year-old was brought in to provide cover for Wojciech Szczesny, but Wenger insists that performances will dictate who claims the position. "'You know at the start Szczensy will be the No. 1, then again we'll be down to performances and, if Ospina shows that he is better, he will play," said Wenger.
