Arsenal are in talks to complete a deal for Borussia Moenchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer.
According to Marca, via Football London, Arsenal are closing in on an agreement with Sommer.
The report claims that Barcelona are expecting Sommer to sign for Arsenal, with the Spanish side holding an interest in the Swiss international.
Sommer impressed in Russia this summer for his country at the World Cup, making a number of important and impressive saves.
Arsenal signed Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer, but are expected to sell Petr Cech and David Ospina – leaving a gap in the squad.
Leno is expected to start the season as Unai Emery’s first-choice but Sommer could come in and contest the spot.
Sommer played alongside current Arsenal players Granit Xhaka and Stephan Lichtsteiner with Switzerland earlier this month.
The 29-year-old has made over 100 Bundesliga appearances since his move from Basel in 2014.
