Arsenal linked with new shotstopper as backup to Raya — Arsenal linked with new shotst

Jonas Urbig has been an almost ever present this season in the 2. Bundesliga, and has kept an impressive 9 clean sheets in 30 games for his temporary club. The Euskirchen-born keeper is currently at Greuther Furth and will return to FC Koln on the 30th of June.

Arsenal have been looking for a new keeper for some months and have ultimately decided that the signing of Urbig will add much needed backup to David Raya , who will move to the Emirates on a permanent basis from Premier League side Brentford in a deal worth £30 million.

Urbig is valued at around £12 million by FC Koln, and the keeper has admitted that it would be a dream to play in the Premier League.

In signing Urbig, the North London side will be agreeing a deal for one of Germany's best young prospects and a possible eventual successor to Raya in a few seasons time.
