Ospina buoyed by Arsenal recruitment

Arsenal s newest recruit David Ospina has spoken of his belief in the quality at Arsene Wenger s disposal ahead of the coming season.

The Colombia international who impressed at the World Cup in Brazil completed his move from French side Nice on Sunday.

The goalkeeper is Wenger s third signing of the close-season and joins Alexis Sanchez and Mathieu Debuchy through the door at the Emirates Stadium.

With Arsenal ending their nine-year trophy drought last season with victory in the FA Cup, Ospina is confident he and his fellow new arrivals can bring further silverware to the club.

I m very confident. I believe we are putting together a brilliant squad, with top players, the 25-year-old told Arsenal s official website.

Now we all have to be fit for the manager, and I m confident things will go well, during games and training.

[Alexis and Debuchy] are great players; they have both been doing very well at club and international level.

It is great for Arsenal that players of this quality have joined the squad.

Ospina was a regular during his time in Ligue 1 where he made 189 appearances in the French top flight having joined from Atletico Nacional in 2008.

He faces competition from last season s number one Wojciech Szczesny and Ospina is under no illusions as to the task he faces to play regularly in the Premier League.

[Szczesny] is a great goalkeeper, very skilful. He has been a regular at a top side like Arsenal, so he is quality, the Colombian added.

We also have the Argentine goalkeeper Damien Martinez. They are both young players but very experienced.
