The goalkeeper joins the London club as a free agent after his contract with Leeds United expired.

The 24-year-old Frenchman left Leeds without a compensation fee and will continue his career with the Gunners, where he will increase competition for the starting goalkeeper spot.

For Arsenal, this is a valuable reinforcement, as the club secured one of the most experienced young goalkeepers in English football without any transfer costs.

Illan Meslier's market value is estimated at 8 million euros by Transfermarkt.
