Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is rumoured to be considering a move for Nigerian international keeper Vincent Enyeama. The north London manager was apparently already an admirer of the Hapoel Tel Aviv goalie who had impressed in Europa League action last season during wins over Celtic and Rapid Vienna and his latest display against Argentina has further illustrated the 27 year old’s ability at the highest level.
Wenger is keen to sign a new keeper after seeing Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski put in a series of woeful performances last term and has been linked with moves for a number of potential replacements including Hugo Lloris and Joe Hart.
Enyeama has helped his Israeli side to the league and cup double last term and is known for his penchant for taking penalty kicks and has been linked with a move to La Liga in recent months. The Nigerian is thought to be available for around £4m.

It appears very likely that Wenger is looking for a new keeper who is old enough not to inhibit our young goalies coming through the ranks and perhaps why he is ignoring such talents as Lloris and Neur of France and Germany. If Wenger has seriously looked at the Nigerian stopper before then this could seem real and his game versus Argentina was great however Wenger will not buy based on the world cup alone; I still believe he will be more tempted by Schwarzer should he be able to get him.
