Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger maintains Wojciech Szczesny is first choice goalkeeper.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that Wojciech Szczesny remains the club’s first choice goalkeeper despite playing second fiddle to David Ospina in recent matches.

Ospina has impressed keeping four successive clean sheets which has led to speculation that the Colombia shot stopper has replaced Szczesny as the no.1 goalie.

However, Wenger says that the Polish international is still the club’s no.1 but admitted he faces stiff competition from Ospina and Emiliano Martinez.

Wenger told the London Evening Standard: "David Ospina has had some time to settle because he was injured when he arrived here.

"During that time we could see his dedication, his focus and his quality. He's in a fight with Wojciech Szczesny to start at the moment.

"Wojciech is the number one but David has played recently. Can he retain the shirt in the coming games? We'll decide that. I don't forget Emiliano Martinez either, who I rate highly. We have three top goalkeepers and the fight for who starts is going on."

Ospina moved to the Emirates Stadium from Nice last summer after impressing for Colombia during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
