Arsenal watching Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope

Arsenal are watching Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope's situation at Turf Moor.

The Sun says England World Cup squad man Pope has lost his place in the Clarets side since dislocating his shoulder last year.

Tom Heaton is first choice after returning from his own injury, with Joe Hart as back-up.

Boss Sean Dyche admits one keeper will have to go — and Turf Moor sources reveal Pope's name is on the exit ticket.

Pope, 26, was linked with Tottenham during his injury absence but the form of Paulo Gazzaniga when called on means he is no longer needed.

But the Gunners are now interested as they seek a replacement for retiring Petr Cech.
