Arsenal Linked With Shock £17m Move to Sign Real Madrid Legend

Emirates Stadium side keen to
bring in hugely experienced star
this summer.
Arsenal are reportedly ready to
make a shock move to sign Real
Madrid keeper Iker Casillas
according to the Daily Star .
The Bernabeu skipper has been
dropped in recent months and
enjoys a fractious relationship with
boss Jose Mourino, which may
lead some to believe that the one
club man could leave the La Liga
giants this summer.
This source claims a move for the
31 year old could cost the Gunners
up to £17m, which would break the
North London club’s transfer
record.
Though Lukasz Fabianski has
impressed since making a
comeback to the Arsenal first-
team, with Wojciech Szczesny
failing to impress this season,
Arsene Wenger is keen to bring in
an experienced custodian to field
behind his defence and there can
be few better keepers in the
business than Casillas.
Mourinho opted to bring in Diego
Lopez to beef up his goalkeeping
options and Casillas suffered a
hand injury to add further woes to
the Spanish international’s poor
season.
The World Cup and double
European Championship winner
has started just two La Liga
matches thus far in 2013 and was
dropped completely from Real
Madrid’s Champions League
quarter-final squad to face
Galatasaray last week.
Casillas is into his 14th season in
Real Madrid’s first team set-up
and has made over 650
appearances for Real Madrid,
helping them to five La Liga titles
and two Champions League
triumphs in the process.
