Arsenal's Ospina in HUGE snub to Chelsea's Courtois but hails Man Utd's De Gea
ARSENAL goalkeeper David Ospina has taken time out to hail Manchester United's David de Gea as one of the Premier League's best goalkeepers, but interestingly chose to omit Chelsea duo Thibaut Courtois and Petr Cech.
The Colombian has been in fine form after taking over from Wojciech Szczesny between the sticks, keeping four successive clean sheets as the Gunners look to make a late charge for the Premier League title.
And speaking to the club's official website, Ospina admitted that he was delighted with his new role under Arsene Wenger whilst praising a number of his league counterparts.
