Arsenal targets 16-year-old Turkish goalkeeper
Throughout his tenure as Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has struggled with goalkeeping depth. Now, the Spanish coach is looking to address the issue.
Details: According to FourFourTwo, citing Turkish media, Arsenal is moving toward signing 16-year-old Adana Demirspor goalkeeper Deniz Denmezer. The Gunners have reportedly made an initial offer of €3 million, which was immediately rejected, but they are expected to persist in negotiations.
Reminder: This season, Denmezer has made 13 appearances for Adana Demirspor, conceding 24 goals and failing to keep a single clean sheet. Transfermarkt values the young Turkish goalkeeper at €300,000.
Earlier, Arteta made a bold claim that Arsenal is capable of surpassing Barcelona in the Champions League standings.
