Tim Krul Snubs Arsenal

13 July 2013 - 15:47

Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul, who emerged as a surprise target for Arsenal recently, has reportedly snubbed the Gunners in favour of Newcastle. Krul insists that he will be fit to be a part of Newcastle’s campaign next season.

Man Utd favourites to sign 25yo Newcastle star

Chelsea & Man Utd want to sign Arsenal defender?

Tim Krul had been tracked by Arsene Wenger as the Gunners boss was prepared to make a &pound;15million move for the Newcastle stopper. Wenger was reportedly keen on bringing in Krul, after having suffered disappointment in Simon Mignolet&rsquo;s transfer case.<br />

But it appears now that the 25-year-old is adamant on staying with his club and he is hopeful of starting the Magpies&rsquo; Premier League campaign. Arsenal was also monitoring QPR&rsquo;s Julio Cesar, but QPR finds Cesar too valuable to part with.<br />

The Dutch international has not been in regular action since surgery on a dislocated shoulder in April. He said,<br />

&ldquo;I will be fit for the first game of the season.<br />

&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll try to get a couple of friendly games to get myself fully up to speed &mdash; and I&rsquo;m right on schedule.&rdquo;
