Arsenal are considering a move for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak ahead of the summer transfer window, according to the London Evening Standard.

What's the word?

Even though the Gunners lost Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United, the club's January transfer activity was positive.

Arsene Wenger strengthened his team with the arrivals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who joined as part of the swap deal with Sanchez.

In addition, the North London outfit managed to convince Mesut Ozil to sign a new three-and-a-half-year contract.

One area that Wenger reportedly wants to address in the summer is the goalkeeper.

According to the London Evening Standard, the club may consider making a move for Oblak, who would be a long-term replacement for Petr Cech.

The report claims that David Ospina is likely to leave Arsenal at the end of the season, which would open up a position in the squad.

Would this be a risky signing?

There is no denying that Cech established himself as one of the Premier League's best goalkeepers during his time at Chelsea and now Arsenal.

However, the Czech is now approaching 36 years of age, and he has been prone to the odd fumble between the sticks.

Oblak, who has been previously linked to Manchester United and Liverpool, is only 25 and has played in every single one of Atletico's La Liga matches and Champions League outings.

So far this season, the Slovenian has conceded just nine league goals and has kept an impressive 13 clean sheets.

Signing Oblak could help propel Arsenal back to where they used to be, but failing to land Champions League football this season could potentially affect any deal.
