London Arsenal are close to completion due to the transfer of French goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
According to insider Fabrizio Romano, the 26-year-old footballer is joining the Gunners as a free agent as his current contract from Leeds United reaches the end of this summer.
According to Dzherel, the Meliers' team together with its representatives went to the Arsenal training center in Hertfordshire. The main purpose of the visit was to ensure the remaining details of the special contract and undergo a traditional medical examination before signing the agreement.
In the meantime, the French goalkeeper has lost the status of the unprotected first number at the Leeds warehouse, which opened the way to his transfer. .
At the beginning stage, you will realize that the newcomer will arrive at the club in the status of the third goalkeeper. In contrast, the position of the main goalkeeper is taken over by David Raya, and his first backup is Kepa Arrizabalaga. Apparently, Illan Melije may take the third position in this goalkeeping hierarchy.
However, the situation may change soon. Arsenal officials have serious doubts about the future of Kepi Arrizabalaga at the club for the coming season.
