#afc Arsenal have been offered the chance to sign PSG keeper Alphonse Areola on loan. Player keen on move to PL and Fulham favourites.

Arsenal been offered him as possible short-term replacement for Emi Martinez, who Aston Villa want.

Not certain Arsenal would go for Areola, but a good stop-gap. As reported by @SamJDean and @TheAthleticUK, Raya would be ideal replacement if one is needed for Martinez - but Thomas Frank said Brentford only willing to sell Benrahma and Watkins.

Goalkeeping situation at Arsenal difficult with Leno and Martinez both determined to be No1. Martinez also has just two years on deal now. Bonus worth noting is Martinez classified as a homegrown player.
