Arsenal Keen On Wolfsburg’s Diego Benaglio

Highly rated goalkeeper Diego Benaglio could be on his way out of Bundesliga side Wolfsburg at the end of the season as Premier League giants Arsenal have shown an interest in signing the shot stopper, Blick reports.

The Gunners have been in the market for a new goalkeeper for quite a while now and have previously been linked with Ajax’s Maarten Stekelenburg among others. They’ve now reportedly turned their attention to the 27-year-old Benaglio instead though.

Benaglio joined the Woelfe from Nacional in January 2008 and has since developed into a key player at Wolfsburg. The glovesman has made close to 100 appearances for his current club in the past few seasons.

Arsenal have already scouted the Swiss on several occasions and he has impressed the Gunners with some good performances. They are also looking to avoid a repeat of this season, when goalkeeping injuries have severely weakened their side.

The north London side could very well make a move for Benaglio in the summer transfer window, but the goalkeeper won’t be available on the cheap. His current contract runs until the summer of 2013.
