LA GALAXY have reportedly joined the race for Arsenal star David Ospina.

The Colombia international helped the Gunners win the FA Cup last season with a number of impressive displays.

But Ospina is believed to want a summer move away from the Emirates as he seeks more first-team opportunities.



Turkish giants Fenerbahce are said to be leading the race for his signature and have already agreed personal terms.

However, claims LA Galaxy have now emerged as serious players as Arsenal look for just £3million.

Fenerbahce are yet to meet the Arsene Wenger's asking price for Ospina, allowing the MLS outfit to come in with an approach.

Arsenal have also rejected a £4m bid from Juventus for Wojciech Szczesny as they plan for Ospina’s exit.

The on-loan Roma keeper is reluctant to return to north London as he does not want to sit on the bench.

But with Juve unwilling to meet his £13m asking price, it could be that Arsenal already have a ready-made replacement for Szczesny.
