Arsenal look set to land a goalkeeper after agreeing a fee with Nice for Colombia international custodian David Ospina.
Arsene Wenger's men have been hunting for a new custodian following the end of season departures of goalkeeping pair Lukas Fabianski and Emiliano Viviano.
A number of players have been linked with the English giants, however it appears Wenger has settled on 25-year-old Ospina.
According to local daily the Nice Matin, Nice have accepted an offer of around €4m from Arsenal for the shot-stopper.
Ospina is thought to be keen to move to Arsenal and the development should smooth his passage to the Emirates Stadium.
