The 27-year-old has predominantly been a back-up keeper to Joe Hart and used in cup games.


The Gunners are on the hunt for another glovesman with Lukasz Fabianski a free agent and Emiliano Viviano's loan spell has drawn to a close.


Reports suggest that Arsene Wenger wants a keeper that can provide genuine competition to first-choice stopper Wojciech Szczesny and he is an admirer of Pantilimon.
