OGC Nice manager Claude Puel sort of confirmed it yesterday, but now it’s 100% official: Colombia No.1 David Ospina is, to all intents and purposes, an Arsenal player…

Arsenal have confirmed that Ospina has agreed terms with the club and will join on a “long-term contract for an undisclosed fee”.
His squad number will then be unveiled over on the Arsenal Instagram account. How immersively multi-platform of them!
Arsene Wenger told the official Arsenal website:
“David Ospina is an excellent goalkeeper, with good experience and a proven record of performing with Nice and Colombia.
“He will add strength to our squad and we are very pleased that he will be joining us.”
Which is lovely.
The obligatory World Cup hoover-up continues!
