ARSENAL could make a shocking bid to bring Newcastle star Tim Krul to North London.

The Gunners' interest has increased since their proposed deal to bring QPR keeper Julio Cesar to the Emirates was trounced by Italian giants Napoli.
The Serie A outfit are close to securing the Brazilian international on a season-long loan, which led to Arsene Wenger turning his focus to Krul.
The 33-year-old was told by the West London outfit he could leave following their relegation from the Premier League.

And according to reports in Holland, will look at testing Newcastle's resolve by offering £6m for the 25-year-old.
Krul will provide massive competition with Polish duo Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski for the no.1 shirt.
Arsenal recently parted company with Italian shot stopper Vito Mannone, who joined Sunderland to help make room for a fresh set of safe hands.
