Arsenal Transfers: 5 AVAILABLE World Class Goalkeepers To Replace Szczęsny

3. Igor Akinfeev

Akinfeev Igor Akinfeev is regarded as one of the best young goalkeepers out there at the moment. The Russian broke into CSKA Moscow's first team at the age of just 17, and has been their first choice goalkeeper ever since. He has won numerous honours with the club including winning the Russian Premier League three times and the Russian Cup five times. He even has a UEFA Cup win to his name as well as a third place medal from the UEFA European Football Championship's in 2008. At 6ft he has a commanding presence, especially when dealing with corners and set pieces, and he is also agile and athletic, able to throw himself at the ball at a moments notice. These accolades must surely merit at least a cursory inspection from Arsene Wenger.
