Five Reasons that Julio Cesar will be playing for Arsenal this Season
- Julio Cesar is a top goalkeeper and most of us can assume that he is not going to play for relegated team QPR this season. He will definitely move to new club and Arsenal are the most suitable club for him now.
- Arsenal have already sold our third “Choice Keeper” Vito Mannone and it is sure Wenger will bring someone to replace him.
- Napoli were the biggest competitor for Arsenal and were found inquiring about Julio Cesar but they signed Rafael which means Arsenal are now favorite to land Julio Cesar this season.
- Julio Cesar was found taking about his future that he wants to stay at London, which can also be the hint that Arsenal have already approached him to sign in.
- Arsene Wenger in yesterday's press conference stated that he wants quality not quantity this summer. Julio Cesar who recently won the best goalkeeper award in Confederation Cup is certainly a class. He has already won major trophies with Inter Milan. Maybe he was referring to him and other new experienced players.
