Hamburg goalkeeper Rene Adler, 28, says he has twice rejected moves to Arsenal but could now join the Gunners in January.

The Gunners are interested in Hamburg's 28-year-old goalkeeper Rene Adler after being priced out of moves for Sunderland's Simon Mignolet and Asmir Begovic of Stoke.

United are set to make Rene Adler's dream come true by triggering a £15m get-out clause for the Bayer Leverkusen keeper.

A possible alternative goalkeeper for Ferguson is Bayer Leverkusen's Rene Adler, who has an escape clause in his contract allowing him to join United if they meet the German club's valuation, thought to be nearly £20m.
