Barca know they will have to replace veteran shot stopper Victor Valdes next summer, with the Spain international appearing set to join AS Monaco, and Ter Stegen was believed to be one of the Catalan club’s top transfer targets for the end of the season.

However, while the media suggested Arsene Wenger was in the market for a senior custodian to compete for the number one shirt at Emirates Stadium, it appears that losing his place in the side last season was a catalyst for Wojciech Szczesny to knuckle down, and since then he has hardly looked back. Ter Stegen is just 21 years of age, and regular first team football is what will most greatly accelerate his development. He would not be guaranteed that in north London. “Right now we are talking with the club about extending his contract.”
