Arsene Wenger insists Sunderland goalkeeper
Jordan Pickford is not on Arsenal's radar as the
Gunners already have plenty of options between the
posts.
Pickford has been a rare bright note in a
desperately poor season for the relegated Black
Cats and reports have suggested that Arsenal have
been keeping tabs on his situation.
The 23-year-old was in fine form as Sunderland
slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal in the
Premier League on Tuesday, making several stops
that drew praise from Wenger.
But the Frenchman says Pickford would have too
much competition at Emirates Stadium.
"Pickford had an exceptional night. I think we had
36 shots at goal, the highest in the Premier
League. The keeper saved 11 of them, so he did
extremely well," Wenger told reporters.
"But we have plenty of goalkeepers. We have Petr
Cech, [David] Ospina, we have Wojciech Szczesny
who is only on loan at Roma and has had an
exceptional season. We [also] have Damian
Martinez.
"If there is one thing we do not need to buy, it is a
goalkeeper."
