Barca challenge Arsenal for Top keeper

According to various English newspaper's today, Barcelona are to challenge Arsenal for Bolton Wanderers keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.

The Finland international is set to leave the Trotters in the summer when his contract runs out and both Barca and Arsenal are said to be very keen on the 32-year old.

Both clubs are on the look out for a back-up keeper and Jaaskelainen is seen as the perfect candidate by both Arsene Wenger and Frank Rijkaard.

My personal opinion is that Jussi is to good to be just a back-up keeper. He has been a true Bolton great over the past few years and I'm sure Wanderers fans will be upset when he does eventually depart.
