So Ospina will face Basel in Switzerland in Arsenal's final Champions League group match in Switzerland on Tuesday.

And with the Gunners safely through to the knockout stages in January he is hoping for much more cup action this term.

But Ospina has already hinted that he wants much more for the future.

And after the 2-2 draw at home to Paris Saint-Germain two weeks ago he said: “I am happy because I am playing.

"But you always want to play more. Petr Cech wants to play and so do I. But I want to play more.”
