'That's what I'm working for, I've been working for three years and now I'm waiting for the opportunity.'


Ospina worked his way ahead of Wojciech Szczesny in the pecking order three seasons ago but has been back up since Cech's arrival from Chelsea in 2015.

The 28-year-old was the Gunners' 'cup' keeper during the last campaign and appeared in every Champions League and FA Cup match, including the final against Chelsea.
