Premier League side Arsenal are monitoring Pepe Reina situation who is set to leave Liverpool this summer.
Serie A side Napoli have also being linked with the Spaniard over his permanent move to Italy but now it looks like Arsenal are leading as Napoli have taken a step back. The Gunners are planning to land Reina as Łukasz Fabiański’s replacement.
If Arsenal sign Reina then he will give a tough time to Arsenal's current first choice goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Reina is an experience goalkeeper, he has played 621 games since his start of professional football in 2000. The 31 year-old stopper kept 10 clean sheets in 30 games in Serie A last season.

Do you think Arsenal should sign Reina?
It will be a good choice because he will be available for cheap price plus will give a tough time to Szczesny.
