Arsenal now agreeing transfer to sell 29-year-old, ‘Deal in principle reached’

The Gunners are closing in on the sale of one of the first team players who have not been with the squad during this summer’s pre-seaosn tour. 

Unai Emery has so far rewarded a couple of first team stars with new deals, but there are others who are not likely to be promised a contract extension to remain at the Emirates stadium this summer.

One of those players is David Ospina, a man frequently linked with a departure, as he remains second-choice in the goalkeeping department.

According to a report from Turkish source Fanatik, the Gunners are expected to agree a deal to sell the 29-year-old to Besiktas.

A detailed report by Turkish Football further claims Arsenal have given Ospina the green light to complete an exit and a ‘deal in principle’ has also been ‘reached’ between the goalkeeper and the Turkish side.

Ospina moved to Arsenal from Nice four years ago after his impressive performances for Colombia at the 2014 World Cup.
