# Arsenal ‘Keeper: Everton A ‘Great Possibility’

Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina says there is a ‘great possibility’ of him joining Everton, as per the report of James Cambridge of the *Express*.

Reports emerged of manager Roberto Martinez’s interest in the Colombian international earlier this week and it is thought the Martinez and Ospina have held talks.

Martinez believes the 26-year-old is an adequate replacement for the Toffees’ current number one Tim Howard.

Ospina, who starred in last year’s World Cup, has told *AS*:

*“They are a very competitive team, which showed significant things during the last season.*

*“With a good manager and they play good football, it is a team to take into account and a great possibility.”*

These words may encourage Everton to solidify their pursuit with a bid.

With the arrival of Petr Cech, one would think Ospina would have his heart set on a move away from the Emirates Stadium in search of first-team football but this does not seem to be the case.

Instead, the former Nice ‘keeper says he will be happy to play with Cech.

*“Now an excellent keeper has arrived who I admire. During my holidays I’m analysing a lot of things and then I’ll have a conversation with the manager.*

*“For me it will be an honour to play alongside a keeper with that experience. A goalkeeper keeps learning every day.”*

Ospina made 15 appearances for Arsenal in his first season in the Premier League.
