The French goalkeeper, formerly of Leeds United, underwent his medical in London on Tuesday. Following that, both parties signed the contract, with Meslier giving his final approval to Arsenal’s project.
For the London club, this is a move to add depth to their goalkeeping ranks, while for Meslier, it’s a chance to reboot his career after leaving Leeds United.
It’s worth noting that Meslier left Leeds United upon the expiration of his contract and is joining Arsenal as a free agent.
Reminder: Arsenal keeps hunting Aston Villa's stars.
