Casillas would welcome Dudek signing

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas would welcome the arrival of Jerzy Dudek if the Polish international shot-stopper joins the Spanish giants during the close season.

Dudek, whose contract at Liverpool runs out this summer, revealed on Thursday that he was considering an offer from Madrid, where he would provide competition to Spain number one Casillas.

"It would be a pleasure to have such a good keeper come here. We will work hard side by side if the signing is confirmed," said Casillas.

Dudek has been forced to play second-fiddle to another Spaniard, Jose Reina, at Anfield for the last few years and has made only a handful of appearances for the Reds since the victorious Champions League final against AC Milan two years ago.
