Besiktas have confirmed that they are interested in signing Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina.

The Turkish club's president Fikret Orman has admitted that the Colombian is on his radar, but expressed his frustration at the Gunners' £3m price tag.

"Arsenal want a lot for him so we may have to look for alternatives," The Mirror quotes him as saying. "I do want Ospina and we are going to get a foreign keeper."

Ospina, who is currently on international duty with Colombia at the Copa America, spent last season as backup to Petr Cech.
