Arsenal news: Emery SHOCK as he bids for Real Madrid star Navas amid Cech and Leno doubts

ARSENAL boss Unai Emery has launched a shock bid for Real Madrid star Keylor Navas amid doubts over Petr Cech and Bernd Leno, reports from Spain say.

Arsenal boss Emery has rotated between Cech and Leno this season with neither goalkeeper being able to leave a lasting impression on their manager.

Over at Real Madrid, meanwhile, Navas is widely expected to leave the Bernabeu when the transfer window reopens in January.

The Costa Rica international has fallen down the pecking order following the summer arrival of Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea.

Emery signed Leno from Bayer Leverkusen back in the summer.

Cech, meanwhile, is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Premier League history.

Neither player, though, has been able to truly make a claim for the Arsenal No 1 jersey.

And Ok Diario say Emery has now turned to Navas and offered Real Madrid £11million to secure a deal.

Navas’ stock has fallen at Real.

But he is a popular figure among fans and many supporters will be gutted to see him go.

Navas will also be offered a contract at Arsenal until 2020.

But whether they can complete the deal when the transfer window reopens in January remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, Real boss Santiago Solari recently opened up on Navas’ future.

“I’m not the one to recommend anything to Keylor or anyone,” Solari told reporters.

“Each player has their own feelings.

“But I have always thought that Madrid is the biggest team in the world and there is no nicer place to be.”
