Ospina: No doubts when Arsenal called

David Ospina is thrilled with his first season with Arsenal.

The Colombian goalkeeper joined the Gunners after the World Cup.

Ospina said: "When the coach (Arsene Wenger) contacted me, after the World Cup, I said yes straight away.

"To play in England, it was a dream. In Colombia, on TV, we saw the Spanish and English matches thanks to Asprilla at Newcastle (1996-98) and Juan Pablo at Aston Villa (2001-07).

"And I preferred the passion surrounding English football.

"Sadly, I arrived at Arsenal already injured. I injured my right thigh in my last match in the World Cup in Brazil."
