London (AFP) – Napoli signed Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina on a season-long loan on Friday.

Ospina will spend the campaign with the Serie A side after falling out of favour at the Emirates Stadium.

The Colombia international, who played at the World Cup earlier this year, is behind Petr Cech and new signing Bernd Leno in Arsenal manager Unai Emery’s pecking order.

An Arsenal statement on their official website read: “We would like to wish David the very best for the season.”
