Illan Meslier Transfer from Leeds United to Arsenal
The Daily Mail reports that Birmingham City offered Illan Meslier a contract upon his release from Leeds United. The 26-year-old will join Arsenal instead, as Birmingham City could not match the terms on offer from the Premier League champions. Meslier was in North London on Tuesday to complete the transfer and will serve as David Raya’s backup. Birmingham City were offering the goalkeeper a starting role, but he chose the Emirates Stadium. Meslier will be very well paid by Arsenal, will receive opportunities in cup competitions, and will be in the starting XI if an injury to Raya occurs.

Sky Sports has reported that Arsenal are close to finalising a deal for Illan Meslier to become the club's new third-choice goalkeeper. The reasoning for the signing is that it would permit Arsenal to send the highly rated young player Tommy Setford out on loan next season for senior football experience. However, this plan is not yet certain because of Kepa Arrizabalaga's uncertain future. It is not clear whether Meslier will be Arsenal's new No. 2 or No. 3.

Recently, he was also identified as a possible target for Manchester United, with reports suggesting that one of their scouts was impressed by his performances.
