Perrin has really caught the eye in Italy for his performances for high flying Genoa this season, with Perrin’s side having defied expectations to keep pace with the big boys and mount a genuine challenge for qualification into next season’s Champions League.
The Gunners’ search for a goalkeeper seems to have been sparked, quite literally, by current number one Wojciech Szczesny, who attracted the wrath of manager Arsene Wenger when he was caught smoking in the showers at Southampton.
