Alex Runarsson Joins Arsenal On A Four-Year Contract

Arsenal have signed goalkeeper Alex Runarsson on a four-year contract from Ligue 1 club Dijon. Runarsson will wear the number 13 shirt and is expected to deputise for first-choice goalkeeper Bernd Leno, replacing Emiliano Martinez who left Arsenal for Aston Villa in a deal worth £17m.

The 25-year-old Iceland international joined the Ligue 1 club in July 2018 and made 13 appearances in all competitions last season. Runarsson joining Arsenal said on their official website:

“I’m just extremely happy, extremely proud, it is a big day for me and my family. I can’t wait to get started”

“It is one of the biggest clubs in the world – they’ve won the Premier League (top division) 13 times, the FA Cup 14 times, it is a huge club and obviously playing in the Premier League as well, it is a win-win situation.

“I know it is going to be a lot of hard work, but I am ready to do everything I can to get the most amount of minutes as possible.”
