Arsenal close in on Leno with Torreira set to be confirmed after the World Cup

Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Germany goalkeeper Bernd Leno for a fee in the region of €22m (£19.2m/$25m), Goal understands, with the Gunners also set to sign Lucas Torreira once his World Cup campaign with Uruguay comes to an end.

Unai Emery’s side are on the look out for a new goalkeeper with Arsenal open to offers for 36-year-old Petr Cech and backup option David Ospina, both of whom have one year remaining on their current contracts.

It’s likely that Ospina will depart Emirates Stadium this summer and Emery will be hoping that the shot stopper has an impressive World Cup with Colombia to increase his transfer fee.
