Colombian international goalkeeper David Ospina is trying to convince Real Madrid ace James Rodriguez to sign for the gunners this summer. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes.net, Ospina has held multiple talks with his country mate over a possible move to the Emirates before the transfer window slams shut on August 31.
Arsenal are under pressure to sign a world-class striker this summer as the new season picks momentum. At a time when their opponents in the Premier League are announcing new reinforcements, some Arsenal fans believe that their dormancy in the transfer market could have a huge impact on their performance in the new season. And true to the fact, the North Londoners are yet to win a league game this season.
They went down 4-3 to Liverpool in their opening game of the season two weeks ago, then secured a goalless draw with defending champions Leicester City last weekend. James Rodriguez is married to Ospina’s sister Daniela and their strong family ties could convince the superstar to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this week.

Another factor that could play a crucial part in his switch from Madrid to London is the emergence of attacking midfielder Marco Asensio, who has instantly become a huge hit among Los Blancos fans thanks to his near-perfect display on their pre-season tour, the UEFA Super Cup, and their opening match of the new La Liga season against Real Sociedad last weekend.
