Arsenal’s Goalkeeper Conundrum: Could Illan Meslier Be the Answer?As the January transfer window approaches, Arsenal are expected to be busy in the market. One area of concern for the Gunners is their goalkeeping situation. With Neto’s loan deal set to expire and David Raya’s status as number one uncertain, Arsenal are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper.According to journalist Steve Kay, Arsenal have been linked with Leeds United’s Illan Meslier. Kay revealed that he has been told that Meslier is a target for the Gunners, although he stressed that the information did not come from one of his top sources.Meslier is an interesting prospect for Arsenal. The 23-year-old French goalkeeper has been praised for his shot-stopping ability, but he has also been criticized for his mistakes. During his time in the Premier League with Leeds, Meslier faced a lot of pressure and conceded plenty of goals. However, he also made some impressive saves, and his former teammate Aaron Ramsdale has defended him from criticism.Ramsdale pointed out that Meslier’s mistakes often overshadow his good performances, and that he is not alone in making errors. “If you get 10 shots at you, more times than not you’re going to let one in, but that’s what people always talk about,” Ramsdale said.Meslier’s future at Leeds is uncertain, with the goalkeeper reportedly telling the club that he will leave if they are not promoted to the Premier League at the end of the season. Meslier has ambitions of becoming France’s number one goalkeeper at the 2026 World Cup, and he believes that he needs to be playing at a higher level to achieve his goal.While Meslier may be open to joining Arsenal, it’s unclear whether he would be willing to play second fiddle to Raya. The Gunners may need to convince Meslier that he has a chance of becoming their number one goalkeeper if they are to persuade him to join the club.The potential signing of Meslier would be a significant coup for Arsenal. The French goalkeeper has the potential to be a top-class goalkeeper, and his signing would provide the Gunners with some much-needed depth in goal. However, it remains to be seen whether Meslier would be willing to join Arsenal and whether the Gunners would be willing to make him their number one goalkeeper.One thing is certain, however: Arsenal need to strengthen their goalkeeping options in January. With Neto’s loan deal set to expire and Raya’s status as number one uncertain, the Gunners cannot afford to wait any longer to address their goalkeeping conundrum.The signing of Meslier would be a step in the right direction for Arsenal. The French goalkeeper has the potential to be a top-class goalkeeper, and his signing would provide the Gunners with some much-needed depth in goal.However, the Gunners will need to act quickly if they are to persuade Meslier to join the club. With several other clubs reportedly interested in the French goalkeeper, Arsenal will need to move fast if they are to secure his signature.In the end, the potential signing of Meslier is a complex issue that will depend on a number of factors. While the French goalkeeper has the potential to be a top-class goalkeeper, it remains to be seen whether he would be willing to join Arsenal and whether the Gunners would be willing to make him their number one goalkeeper.
