With so many top name goalkeepers being actively linked with new clubs and others looking for new opportunities to push for first team games, it's going to be a busy transfer window this summer. As ardent fans of goalkeeping, it will be great to follow and make the pre-season a more interesting show than having to put up with star name strikers and the like making changes.
There are a lot of goalkeepers that could be potentially moving, as well as plenty of rumours about possibles. I'm hopefully going to cover the trades with some more insight as to why and whether they'll be a good fit.

There are a lot of goalkeepers that could be potentially moving, as well as plenty of rumours about possibles. I'm hopefully going to cover the trades with some more insight as to why and whether they'll be a good fit.
Done deals:
- Cech to Arsenal
- Casillas to Porto
- Begovic to Chelsea
- Turnbull to Leeds
- Given to Stoke
- Al-Habsi to Reading
- Romero to Man Utd
Rumours:
- Valdes up for market after refusing to play reserve games
- Heaton to Everton as a long term replacement for Howard
- Hennessey said to be linked with a lot of teams but no solid offers - makes sense if Palace stick with Speroni who has been so strong for them (and the last games of the season allowing club to show off his market value)
Possibles:
- Westwood - shown so much promise with Sheffield Wednesday and a good bargain should a Premier league side move for him
- Craig Gordon - would be surprised if no-one moves for him after having such a strong outing with Celtic after making his comeback from injury
- Szczesny - introduction of Ospina into the Arsenal team saw him stuck on the sidelines. Not wanting to languish on the bench, I could see him moving elsewhere to get game time.
