DBasia.news – Since coming to Naples as an Arsenal loan player, David Ospina immediately became Napoli’s number one goalkeeper. Thanks to his great performance, according to Carlo Ancelotti, Napoli coach, the club will make his contract permanent.
Ospina joined Napoli after the Gunners brought in Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen in the same period, a recruitment that made the Colombian goalkeeper unable to get guarantees about his playing time with the North London team.
His move to the Stadio San Paolo gave far higher playing time to Ospina, and the contribution he made at this time was appreciated by Ancelot ti and the Il Partenopei staff.
“(David) Ospina should have appeared in a Europa League match before but was not in maximum condition so I decided to drop him in the match with Torino. Ospina will remain at Napoli next season, regardless of the number of matches he has participated in this season, “Carlo Ancelotti told a news conference quoted by Football Italia.
Speculation about Ospina’s future with Napoli has been discussed frequently enough in Italy over Alex Meret’s arrival sometime before Ospina’s loan, but now the two players, coupled with Orestis Karneziz, have fairly balanced playing time.
