Signing permanently for SPAL in the summer after a successful loan spell there, Alfred Gomis is doing his best to make sure the ball doesn’t up in the back of his net for the Serie A side.
With the side currently 14th, conceding just 10 goals in nine games, things aren’t going too badly, and he’s trying to impress enough to earn himself a transfer to the Premier League down the line, preferably to Arsenal.
Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, the 25-year-old admitted that one of his dreams was to play at the Emirates, and since dreams become goals in football, that’s what he’s aspiring to.
He said: “My future? My wish would be Arsenal. I’ve loved the English team since I was a kid.”
Since Unai Emery recently signed Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen for around £22.5m, it’s fair to say the 24-year-old is expected to be handed the baton from Petr Cech once the former Chelsea goalkeeper hands up his boots (gloves?), but there could be a space behind the German.Never say never in football.
As well as featuring regularly for SPAL, Gomis has four Senegal caps to his name, most recently featuring during the international in a double win against Sudan.
