Runar Alex Runarsson is expected to complete his move to Arsenal on Monday afternoon and could make his debut against Leicester City on Wednesday night.
The Icelandic goalkeeper arrived in England on Friday and immediately travelled to Arsenal’s London Colney training base to put the finishing touches to his transfer from French side Dijon for just over £1 million (€1.1m/$1.3m), and to meet his new team-mates.
Runasson completed his medical in France on Thursday before making the journey to London and spent the weekend training while Mikel Arteta’s side made it two wins from two in the Premier League, beating West Ham 2-1 at Emirates Stadium.
