Almunia happy at Arsenal but wants things sorted

Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia admits he is happy at the club but wants his future sorted with news that a new goalkeeper is on his way to Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners have been linked with Fulham's Mark Schwarzer for much of the summer transfer market and if the move goes ahead, Almunia wants to seek assurances from Arsene Wenger.

"If somebody comes in, I will have to talk about my future at Arsenal. That is it. I cannot talk now, because the talking would be for nothing. I have to work and if one day I am not good for Arsenal, I will talk. That is no problem. I am very happy here," he said.

Almunia added that he was not too sure what would happen if he did leave the Gunners but as very keen to continue playing.

"I don't see anything else outside of Arsenal," he added.

"It will be very difficult to play for another team in England if it wasn't Arsenal. Spain would also be difficult.

"But I am 33 years old and only have a few more years left in football. I would like to enjoy them. I am a keeper who enjoys playing."
