Arsenal goalkeeper, David Ospina, has revealed how he couldn’t say no to Arsene Wenger once he came calling in the Summer.
The Gunners signed the Colombian this year from French side, Nice, and he has recently taken the number-one spot off of Wojciech Szczesny due to the Pole making numerous mistakes on and off the field.
The 26-year-old secured his move after an impressive World Cup in Brazil, and it earned him a £3.2million move from Ligue 1 to the Premier League, and he has admitted that Wenger was impossible to say no too.
He said on the move: “When the coach (Wenger) contacted me, after the World Cup, I said yes straight away.
“To play in England, it was a dream. In Colombia, on TV, we saw the Spanish and English matches thanks to Asprilla at Newcastle (1996-98) and Juan Pablo at Aston Villa (2001-07).
“And I preferred the passion surrounding English football.
“Sadly, I arrived at Arsenal already injured. I injured my right thigh in my last match in the World Cup in Brazil.”
