Arsenal leading the chase to move for £15 million Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir ... - Telegraph.co.uk

Stoke, though, appeared to begin preparing for Begovic's departure during the January transfer window when they signed Jack Butland from Birmingham City.

Arsenal are genuinely planning a more extravagant summer, particularly if they leapfrog either Tottenham or Chelsea to seal a place in the Champions League. Arsène Wenger's spending power is being transformed by new commercial deals that will add around £30million annually to his transfer budget.

The goalkeeping situation is delicate, with Wenger still publicly confident that both Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski can develop into world-class players.

Szczesny has been dropped recently in favour of Fabianski and Wenger's willingness to spend so much of his budget on a goalkeeper will be influenced by how they both finish this season.

A striker and a holding midfielder are also among the priorities, with extra money available from the certain departures of Andrei Arshavin and Sebastian Squillaci, who are both out of contract.
