Arsenal are reportedly monitoring Ajax star Andre Onana but will wait for the outcome of the goalkeeper's appeal against his 12-month doping ban before making a move this summer.
The Cameroonian stopper, 25, is serving a ban handed to him by UEFA after testing positive for Furosemide, which he claims was prescribed to his wife and that he accidentally consumed.
Onana and Ajax are fighting the ban and the case will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in early June, with the outcome expected later that month.
And Goal reports that the length of the ban could be reduced to just eight months, opening the door for a summer move away with Arsenal interested in the Dutch giants' goalkeeper.
The Gunners' interest reportedly dates back to January, when transfer chief Edu made contact with Onana's representatives over a possible move, with the Cameroonian's contract expiring next summer.
Mikel Arteta has been searching for another goalkeeper amid the shaky form of No 1 Bernd Leno and the underwhelming displays of back up keeper Alex Runarsson.
However. financial constraints served as a stumbling block over a move and the Gunners instead opted for Matt Ryan on a loan deal from Brighton.
Onana's current suspension prevents him from even training with the Dutch giants, as such the Cameroonian is undergoing private training sessions with a goalkeeper coach at an amateur football club in Amsterdam.
Should Onana's sentence be reduced to eight months, the 25-year-old would be allowed to train with a club from June and he could return to action two months later.
Arteta and Edu's admiration of Onana remains intact and Ajax will reportedly accept as little as £12m for the goalkeeper this summer, although Goal reports that the Dutch giants could sell for just £7m given that his contract expires next summer.
The Gunners may face competition for Onana's signature, however, with clubs from France and Germany also understood to be keeping track of the shot stopper.

Foetus, I now understand that Arsenal is no longer a world class team I have always thought it to be... I admit it I have been wrong all the while... No wonder you couldn't cope with Ozil, Gnabry e.t.c.... Even one of your current player Sarcastically refer to your team as West Brom.

Uterus are you living under a cave?? Arsenal are not a worldclass team for 5 years now.Gnabry was bang average at Arsenal and West brom.Bring him to pl he will back to his level.Ozil has finished after 2016.So hey you sure lives under a cave and nothing you are saying related to the topic.May be you should improve your reading skills Rex o sorry "Séx".

I don't trust Arteta's ability to select good players to buy. He's as hopeless there as he is in selecting his 1st eleven. If someone thinks Arteta must continue to be at Arsenal, then they have to recruit Rafa Benitez or another experienced coach to be selecting players to field and making decisions on substitutions. He's now talking of doing a ruthless purge at Arsenal yet he has no idea who should go and who should remain. Arsenal has very good players. All they need is a good coach and a good, consistent goal keeper. Period. Arteta should not be allowed to destroy Arsenal in the name of doing a purge.

Thomas Partey was worldclass player one season ago Same for Auba.Do you know you are stûpid to say this.Emery has Koscielny,Monreal,Kola and Mustafi as his defenders.In midfield Ramsey was injured most of the time so Xhaka,Torreia and Guendouzi used to play now we have ESR better than Guendouzi,Partey Better than Torriea,Saka better than Iwobi,Gabi better than Miki, Gabriel and Mari better than mustafi and old Koscielny.Tierney such a good lb.This manager made good players look like a bunch of average group.1 month ago everyone including those were good now suddenly they are all.This coach is kîlling our talent.Look the way Saliba and willock are performing on loan but they look bang average under him.This coach is the worst coach in Arsenal history without a doubt

The problem with Arsenal is not the Coaches been employed lately but the management, when you always go to the Thrift Store to buy badly worned Second hand Clothes then you try to cover up by buying few Chinese substandard ones to cover up.... You should understand that Football has Evolved past the days when you expect a miracle out of the blue with average set of players With very few exceptional talents.

If Pep happen to step his foot in Arsenal as a coach. He'll definitely request for a better squad. For me, COACH is not an issue for Arsenal but their board members who refused to spend big on serious ballers
