Very few Arsenal fans would argue that their best goalkeeper is currently on loan in Rome

With his age and ability, it would be no surprise if Arsenal are desperate to sign Butland this summer

Another Premier League goalkeeper who could replace Cech is Englishman Jack Butland.

Butland has spent this whole Premier League season on the sidelines, but this would not deter any Arsenal manager from signing the youngster. At 24 years of age, he is an extremely mature young goalkeeper and makes very few mistakes.

Unfortunately, he suffered an injury towards the end of last season on international duty with England, which hasn’t allowed him to prove his quality once again this season. Before his injury, the Englishman was pushing for a number one spot with the England side and was attracting a lot of interest.

Arsenal would also like to have more English talent within their ranks, something many people complain about. If Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain are to leave this summer, more home-grown players will be necessary for match day squads.

With his age and ability, it would be no surprise if Arsenal are desperate to sign Butland this summer, with the 24-year-old undoubtedly able to play as Arsenal’s new number one.
