David Ospina: Colombia goalkeeper has joined Arsenal. |
English Premier League side Arsenal said yesterday it has signed Colombia's World Cup goalkeeper David Ospina from French club Nice.
Ospina, 25, was one of the stars of the World Cup with spectacular performances as his country reached the quarterfinals for the first time. Arsenal said he would sign a "long-term contract" but did not give the fee. French reports this week said Arsenal would pay about 4 million euros (US$5.4 million). The Colombian has been at Nice for six seasons.
Ospina will be competing for a place with Wojciech Szczesny after fellow Pole Lukasz Fabianski left Arsenal for Swansea City earlier in the summer transfer window.
