Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta reveals plans to sign a new goalkeeper amid fears over back-up options to Bernd Leno after Alex Runarsson's horror start to his career at the Emirates

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Arsenal are looking to snap up a goalkeeper to play second fiddle to Bernd Leno with Alex Runarsson failing to convince.

The Gunners let Emiliano Martinez, who shone at the end of last season, leave for Aston Villa in the summer before replacing him with Icelandic goalkeeper Runarsson from Dijon.

However, the 25-year-old - who was always seen more as a third-choice - has endured a horror start to his career at Arsenal, looking extremely nervy while producing a dreadful performance at home to Manchester City in last month's Carabao Cup defeat.
