Arsenal are set to complete the signing of goalkeeper Illan Meslier on a free transfer from Leeds United. The 26-year-old, who has lost his place as number one at Leeds and is out of contract this summer, was at the club's training centre in Hertfordshire on Tuesday to finalize the move and undergo a medical. BBC Sport first revealed the Gunners' interest on 30 June. Meslier is expected to arrive as third-choice goalkeeper behind David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga, though he could be promoted to number two if Arrizabalaga departs. The imminent arrival of Meslier will see teenage goalkeeper Tommy Setford leave on loan this summer.
