Wenger: Why I won't need to buy a new keeper

With many fans hoping for the manager to purchase a new goalkeeper in the summer, they would be disappointed with his pre-match comments today.

Arsène Wenger said that he has full confidence in the young and promising Wojciech Szczesny, who has the potential to be the number one keeper at the club.

The manager also reminded fans that there is also Lukasz Fabianski, who will be challenging Szczesny for the position.

The Frenchman's comments today will certainly signal the end of Manuel Almunia's career at the club.

Wenger said: "Szczesny he has the calibre to be a goalkeeper at Arsenal Football Club and we have Fabianski as well.

"Szczesny has the potential [to be No 1]. It will be a fight because Fabianski will be back. We still have Almunia too, he has one year to go [on his contract].

"We can always in mid-season call Jens Lehmann back!"
