The goalkeeper officially joins the Gunners for the remainder of the season from
Palermo after passing a medical at their London Colney training ground
on Monday morning
Arsenal have secured the season-long loan signing of goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano from Palermo, the Italian club have confirmed.
The Italian passed a medical at the Gunners' London Colney training ground on Monday morning and agreed terms to spend a year at the Emirates Stadium.
Viviano,
whom Arsenal have an option to buy at the end of the campaign, will
provide competition for current No.1 Wojciech Szczesny.
It is
understood that the north Londoners had to pay a substantial loan fee
for the keeper, who spent 2012-13 with Fiorentina in a similar temporary
deal.
Palermo announced the deal on their official website,
confirming that Arsenal have taken the Italian on loan for the season
with the right to buy him outright.
