Timeline

1988

David Ospina Ramírez (born 31 August 1988) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr and captains the Colombia national team.

2005

Ospina began his career at Atlético Nacional, making his debut with the club in 2005.

After achieving two domestic titles with Los Verdolagas, Ospina joined French side Nice.

At youth level, Ospina represented Colombia at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.

Notably, he was part of the Colombia squads that won gold at the 2005 Bolivarian Games and the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games.

Upon his senior debut against Uruguay, he became the youngest goalkeeper to make an appearance for Colombia.

He has since earned 128 caps for his nation, making him his nation's most capped player of all time, appearing at four Copa Américas and two World Cups.

Ospina began his professional career in Categoría Primera A club Atlético Nacional in 2005.

Ospina played a total of 97 matches with the team, even being called to the national team.

With the club, Ospina achieved three league titles.

2007

Ospina has represented his country at a full international level since 2007.

2008

In mid-2008, Ospina was transferred to French club Nice.

After three seasons at Atlético Nacional, at the age of 19, he was transferred to Nice in France for an undisclosed fee, believed to be about €2 million.

Ospina was reportedly signed to become the long-term replacement of Hugo Lloris, who had transferred to Lyon for €8.5 million.

However, Ospina served as a substitute to Lionel Letizi for the first few months of his career, before breaking into the first team.

Frédéric Antonetti, the manager of Nice who brought Ospina to the club, said, "He has everything you need to be a top goalkeeper. He's good in the air and he's good on the ground. He has that little extra something to be a champion. Hugo Lloris was an international-standard goalkeeper; so is David."

Four years into his career at Nice, Ospina publicly voiced his desire to leave the club.

Nice coach Claude Puel signed promising young French goalkeeper Joris Delle, and announced Delle would be promoted into the first team, sharing the position with Ospina.

2012

In the summer of 2012, Turkish club Besiktas attempted to sign Ospina, however the move fell through.

2014

In 2014, he joined Arsenal on a four-year deal.

After Ospina's performances at the 2014 World Cup and his rejection of a contract extension, he was linked to many European sides.

Despite being heavily linked to Atlético Madrid, Puel announced that Ospina would depart the club to join English side Arsenal.

On 27 July 2014, Arsenal had confirmed that Ospina had signed for the club on for an undisclosed fee, believed to be £3 million, on a four-year deal.

Through the club's official Instagram account, Arsenal revealed that Ospina would wear the number 13 shirt for the club, last worn by loanee Emiliano Viviano.

On 23 September 2014, Ospina made his debut for Arsenal in the League Cup match against Southampton, a 2–1 home defeat.

He made his second Arsenal appearance on 1 October in their UEFA Champions League group stage match at home to Galatasaray, replacing Alexis Sánchez after starting goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny had been sent off for a professional foul on Burak Yılmaz.

Ospina conceded the penalty, taken by its earner, but Arsenal won 4–1, making several vital saves in the process.

In October, Ospina suffered a thigh injury that would keep him out effectively for the rest of the 2014 calendar year.

Ospina resumed his cup duties in a 2–0 win against Hull City, but maintained his place for his full Premier League debut a week later, keeping a clean sheet in a 3–0 win against Stoke City.

With first-choice goalkeeper Szczęsny punished for smoking in the dressing room after a game against Southampton, Ospina was made first choice in the league and went on to claim successive clean sheets against Manchester City and Aston Villa.

He played every remaining league game until the end of the season, with the exception of FA Cup ties against Brighton & Hove Albion, Middlesbrough, Manchester United and Reading.

2015

During his time in London, Ospina won three trophies with the club: the FA Cup in 2015 and 2017, as well as the 2017 FA Community Shield.

Moreover, he was also an unused substitute in Arsenal's 4–0 win in the 2015 FA Cup Final against Aston Villa.

However, Ospina's performances earned him a place on the FIFA Ballon d'Or longlist for the 2015 campaign.

During the summer transfer window period, Ospina was linked to Beşiktaş and Everton after Arsenal had signed Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Čech, which effectively demoted Ospina to second-choice keeper.

However, no deal materialised, as second-choice Wojciech Szczęsny was loaned to Roma for the season.

2018

In 2018, Ospina was loaned out to Serie A club Napoli.

The following year, Napoli permanently signed Ospina.

2020

In 2020, Ospina played a pivotal role in Napoli's conquering of the Coppa Italia.

Following unsuccessful negotiations to renew his contract with Napoli, Ospina signed for SPL side Al-Nassr in 2022.
