Schubert set to join Schalke despite Arsenal links

Markus Schubert seems destined to join Bundesliga side, Schalke, despite his links with Arsenal.

Bernd Leno is currently Arsenal's only top level keeper and Unai Emery was keen to sign Schubert to provide cover for Leno, whilst possibly improving in the future.

Schubert is expected to provide cover for the highly rated Alexander Nubel, who is drawing serious interest from Bayern Munich, as Manuel Neuer ages.

With Nubel potentially heading away from Schalke in the not too distant future, Schubert believes he has an opportunity to potentially find his way into the Schalke side, something he does not believe he would be able to find at Arsenal due to Leno's presence.
