Lazio goalkeeper Fernando Muslera is happy to be linked with English giants Arsenal.

The 23-year old Uruguayan shot-stopper has come under attention from the Gunners after tying down the number one spot at the Rome-based club and he is delighted that a club such as Arsenal are monitoring him.

"It is important that a Premier League club like Arsenal have been monitoring my progress and it motivates me to play even better," he said.

Muslera joined Lazio from Montevideo Warriors in 2007 and still has two years to run on his current contract.
