Arsenal prepares to sign goalkeeper Illan Meslier on free transfer

Illan Meslier is set to join Arsenal on a free transfer after being released by Leeds United last week. The French goalkeeper, who was previously Leeds' first-choice for five years, did not make any appearances last season as he fell to third choice. At Arsenal, he is expected to serve as the third-choice goalkeeper, potentially allowing Tommy Setford to go out on loan. Meanwhile, Kepa Arrizabalaga's future at the club remains uncertain but he is not in a rush to leave.
