Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has all but secured a new goalkeeper in the shape of Colombian David Ospina.

Wenger has been keen on snapping up the 25-year-old and, according to local daily Nice Matin, the Frenchman has done just that, with an agreement now existing between Ospina's club side, Nice, and Arsenal.











Arsenal are expected to complete the signing of the shot-stopper over the next few days, with the fee coming in at around the €4m mark.

Ospina, who represented Colombia at this summer's World Cup, has already agreed personal terms with the Gunners, however Nice still have to finalise several minor details before the transfer is signed off.



Wenger lost goalkeepers Lukasz Fabianski and Emiliano Viviano earlier this summer, making Arsenal's need for goalkeeping reinforcements clear.

Ospina joined Nice in 2008 from Atletico Nacional and quickly established himself as the French side's starting goalkeeper.

At international level Ospina has won 44 caps to date for Colombia.
