Fulham and Arsenal Rumored To Be Interested in Guillermo Ochoa

According to the rumor mill, Guillermo Ochoa, the goalie for Club America, may be signed by Fulham or Arsenal.

Ochoa is currently in England at the invitation of the governing body of Fulham FC and its coach Mark Hughes. Club America has responded by saying that their star player is on vacation.

It has also stated that Ochoa will be returning to Mexico to report for his physical examination on December 13, 2010 in preparation for the closing of the 2010-2011 Mexican League season.

Behind the scenes, it appears that Club America is paying attention in case Fulham or Arsenal attempt to sign Ochoa during his "vacation".

The venerable club from Mexico is looking to see what will transpire if there is a contract offer for Ochoa. They will probably work to make sure that they receive benefits from any transfer.

The only visible sign from Club America concerning Ochoa in England came from its coach Manuel Lapuente.

He announced that if Ochoa receives a concrete offer from England, he will allow the goalie to leave Club America. Lapuente recognized that this would be a big loss for Club America, but that Ochoa is the only one who can decide his future.

It remains to be seen what will be the next move for Ochoa.
