Kasper Schmeichel linked with shock Arsenal transfer this summer
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could look to Kasper Schmeichel - the son of former Manchester United legend Peter - to solve his goalkeeping crisis ahead of next season, it has emerged.
Famously astute when it comes to eyeing an unlikely bargain, Wenger is mulling over a move for the out-of-contract Dane following his release by League Two side Notts County this week.
Former Manchester City shot-stopper Schmeichel has Premier League experience from his stint at Eastlands two years ago.
And, at just 23, Wenger sees Schmeichel as a potential future star - having given up hope of bringing through Lukasz Fabianski or being able to rely on Manuel Almunia.
Arsenal have already been linked with several top-class goalkeepers this month, including Fiorentina's Sebastien Frey, 30, and West Ham's Rob Green, 30.
But Wenger is keen to add a younger goalkeeper into the mix who can be groomed to take over once his more experienced new signing - whoever that may be - comes to the end of his career.
It is thought Championship side Derby County and Premier League rivals Spurs and Birmingham City are also weighing up moves for Schmeichel - although a contract at the Emirates Stadium would be the youngster's preference.
Unlikely... surely if Flappy and Avi Al are both offloaded; Mannone and Sir Chesney would fight for number 2??
PS: Goosey... copy and paste. Read and weap.
