Arsenal planning Pepe Reina swoop?

Arsenal are reportedly lining up a move for Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina after his transfer to Napoli fell through.

The 31-year-old spent last season on loan with the Serie A club, but they are thought to be unwilling to match Liverpool's asking price for a permanent switch.

The Spain international has hinted that his career at Anfield could be over, after falling behind Simon Mignolet in the pecking order.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is in the market for a new goalkeeper after Lukasz Fabianski opted to join Swansea City.

According to The Express, Wenger has identified Reina as a possible target.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is thought to be reluctant to sell to a rival, but he could agree to a move if the price is right.

Reina joined Liverpool from Villarreal in 2005.
