Who is going to be Arsenal's saviour of last resort???

0
Arsenal's porous defense and goal keeping problems this season have cost them the title or at least a sustained title push. Whenever Arsenal knocked at the doors of league leaders, threatening to catchup, a defensive or a goalkeeping disaster, perfectly executed to say the least, cropped up and kicked them back to where they started from.

Amid the debate over capabilities of Flopianski and Dullmunia. And around doubts such as - are they even good enough for high-school goalkeeping? Let alone Premier League. It looks certain that Wenger would break the bank this summer and sign a top-class keeper. We decided to have a look at some of the options available to Wenger in order  to get our 'Saviour of Last Resort'.

Note: player ranks are based upon recent performances.

Igor Akinfeev 
Club -  CSKA Moscow
Age - 24
Height - 6 ft 1 in
Price -  
£18 million




Rank - NA



Joe Hart 
Club - Manchester City



Age - 23






Height - 6 ft 3 in








Price - £10 million










Rank - 76



Hugo Lloris 
Club - Lyon



Age - 23






Height - 6 ft 2 in








Price - 






£12.6 million
















Rank - 20





Gianluigi Buffon
Club - Juventus



Age - 32






Height - 6 ft 3 in








Price - 






£27.5 million
















Rank - 460







Andriy Pyatov
Club - Shakhtar Donetsk



Age - 25






Height - 6 ft 3 in



Price -















£5.8 million




Rank - NA

Sebastien Frey
Club - Fiorentina



Age - 30






Height - 6 ft 2.5 in








Price - 




£14.4 million














Rank - 169




Rene Adler
Club - Bayer Leverkusen



Age - 25






Height - 6 ft 3 in








Price - 




£14 million




















Rank - 661








The most reasonable option for the gunners is either Joe Hart, Hugo Lloris or Sebastien Frey, as is evident from the statistics. The ranks represent most recent performance and therefore also indicate the form of these goalkeepers. Although, given the fact that Manchester City and Lyon have expressed that they do not have any desire to sell their keepers it looks likely that Arsenal might end up buying Sebastien Frey.
