Ospina a target for Besiktas
Posted Friday, June 03, 2016 by Foxsports.com
Turkish champions Besiktas have confirmed their interest in offering Arsenal back-up goalkeeper David Ospina regular first-team football next season.
The Colombia international, who will feature at the Copa America Centenario during the domestic off-season, was mainly employed for the Gunners' cup campaigns and managed just 12 appearances in all competitions.
The Black Eagles were heavily linked with Ospina 12 months ago following the arrival of Petr Cech at the Emirates Stadium, and the club's sporting director, Gokhan Keskin, revealed they are still pursuing a deal for the 27-year-old.
"Nothing has been agreed on yet but we are targeting Ospina," Keskin told Turkish radio station Radyospor.
Wenger's side went on to finish runners-up to Leicester in the Premier League, with Cech winning the Golden Glove award after keeping 16 clean sheets this past season, likely leaving Ospina to continue in a secondary role next term.
