Mark Schwarzer laughs off another futile shot at Australia training
Critics have identified current first choice Manuel Almunia as one of the reasons Arsenal have struggled to go to the next level this season, with back-ups Lukasz Fabianski and Vito Mannone not doing enough with their opportunities to indicate they are ready to fill the void.
Schwarzer, 37, has been in career-best form across London at Craven Cottage as Fulham reached the final of the Europa League while managing to finish 12th in the Premier League despite often fielding weakened sides. He won a Premier League play-of-the-month award and also played a major part in Australia's qualification for the 2010 World Cup, conceding just one goal in eight matches in the final group phase.
According the Daily Mirror, Wenger is eyeing up Schwarzer because his veteran age would mean he should come cheaper than other reported targets, AZ Alkmaar's Sergio Romero and Shaktar Dontesk's Andriy Pyatov. Wenger alleged had Schwarzer scouted during the last two matches of the Premier League - ironically one of which was against Arsenal when Schwarzer made a rare error to gift Andrei Arshavin a goal.
