RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Ospina is nearing completion on a £3 million transfer from Ligue 1 side Nice to Arsenal FC, Sky Sports reports.
Ospina's current contract is set to expire at the end of the upcoming season, so Nice is keen to cash in on the Colombian shot-stopper this summer, as he's previously indicated he wouldn't renew his stay at the French club. At 25 years old, Ospina is coming off an impressive showing at the World Cup and would immediately provide competition to incumbent Wojciech Szczesny for Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeping position. In 29 games for Nice last season, Ospina tallied 101 saves and 13 clean sheets.
