Seaman urges Wenger to move for Schwarzer

Arsenal legend David Seaman feels signing Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer could be the difference between success and another season of failure for the Gunners. Arsene Wenger looks set to move for the wantaway Fulham stopper, who is reported to have handed in a transfer request after the Cottagers rejected a £2million summer bid. Seaman believes Almunia and his deputy Lukasz Fabianski have cost his old club dear with some high-profile errors. The 46-year-old former England number one - nicknamed 'safe hands' and part of Wenger's Invincibles side of 2003/2004 - said: "Both Almunia and Fabianski did not end the season well. They both made mistakes in high-profile games that effectively cost them the chance of some silverware. "It means if the quality of someone like Mark Schwarzer becomes available, then Arsene needs to look at him. "He is a great player, tried and tested and can make saves that win you games. He is a world-class goalkeeper."
