Report: Arsenal are keeping close tabs on Argentinian goalkeeper who's a 'penalty king'

Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta’s men have now been cut five points adrift of the summit ahead of their away trip to Newcastle United on next weekend.

Roy Keane is becoming concerned with Arsenal’s fragile mentality which has seen them drop leads on multiple occasions this season.

Arsenal have often reverted to a pragmatic approach in games and it’s evidently costing them points, so Arteta must address this issue.

The Spaniard is also still keen to bring in a goalkeeper to rival David Raya and it’s just emerged that the recruitment team have their eye on an Argentinian shot-stopper.

Arsenal keeping tabs on Leandro Brey

According to Boca Notiicas, Arsenal are keeping close tabs on Boca Juniors goalkeeper Leandro Brey ahead of the January transfer window.

The Gunners are keen to bring in competition for David Raya and Brey appears to have been identified as a long-term successor.

The 22-year-old has overtaken former Manchester United man Sergio Romero in the pecking order at Boca and is attracting interest from across Europe.

Nidal Khattar has labelled Brey as a ‘penalty king’ for his heroics in the Argentine Cup semi-finals earlier this week.

Arsenal should prioritise a striker in January

After landing Neto from Bournemouth during the summer, the need for another goalkeeper certainly isn’t urgent.

So instead, Arsenal should allocate those funds towards a striker – which is an area they’re perhaps the weakest in.

Kai Havertz has operated well in that role, but it’s evident if Arteta’s men are to level up, they need a specialist number nine.

Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres would be the perfect option.
