Arsenal table £14m bid for top La Liga goalie as Petr Cech replacement

- Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas is set to quit the Santiago Bernabeu this January

- Arsenal have reportedly offered £14m for the 32-year-old goalkeeper who has hinted fans he could be on the move

- Bernd Leno’s place could be under threat if Navas arrives after winning three consecutive UCL titles with Real Madrid

Premier League campaigners Arsenal have tabled a £14m bid to sign Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas in the ongoing winter transfer window.

According to UK Metro citing Spanish news channel Sport, Arsenal and Roma are in the running for the 32-year-old shot-stopper, with the north Londoners dwellers tabling an offer of £14m.

The Costa Rican has struggled for game time Thibaut Courtois’ arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The report further suggests Navas, who has 18 months left on his present contract at Real Madrid, is keen on leaving this January after failing to taste action since the second game of the campaign since August 2018.

Interestingly, Navas took to the social media to release a hint he could be on the move on New Year’s Day, after uploading an image of himself with Los Blancos fans along with a short message.

“Thanks for everything!”

Gunners move for Navas appears strange after Unai Emery splashed out £19.6m on Bernd Leno in the summer and was expected to bring in a quality centre-back instead this January.

However, Petr Cech is due to quit the club at the end of the campaign when his present deal expires, and Arsenal will be hoping Navas provide more competition for Leno ifthe deal sees the light of the day.

The German has had a mixed start to life in the English topflight since taking over goalkeeping responsibilities from Cech.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
