Manuel Almunia will seek talks about his Arsenal future if Arsene Wenger signs another senior goalkeeper before the transfer window closes.[LNB] The Gunners have been linked with Fulham's Mark Schwarzer and Manchester City's Shay Given.[LNB]Spaniard Almunia, 33, has made over 100 appearances since joining Arsenal in 2004, and captained the team in the 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Sunday.[LNB]He is eager to keep his place in manager Wenger's team, and said in the Evening Standard: "If somebody comes in, I will have to talk about my future at Arsenal. That is it. I cannot talk now, because the talking would be for nothing.[LNB]"I have to work and if one day I am not good for Arsenal, I will talk. That is no problem. I am very happy here."[LNB]Should he find himself relegated to second choice, Almunia may reluctantly consider a future away from the Emirates Stadium.[LNB]But he admitted: "I don't see anything else outside of Arsenal.[LNB]"It will be very difficult to play for another team in England if it wasn't Arsenal. Spain would also be difficult.[LNB]"But I am 33 years old and only have a few more years left in football. I would like to enjoy them. I am a keeper who enjoys playing."
