From: Legia Warsaw
To: Arsenal
Fee: Undisclosed
Poland goal keeper Luis Fabianski has completed his transfer to Arsenal after signing a lifetime contract with the Gunners. Fabianski is only 22 years old, and is regarded by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as "a fine prospect for the future." Fabianski found a place in the Polish World Cup team and has played four matches for his country. He was voted the best keeper in the Polish League for the past two years.
He will be competing with veteran German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann for a spot in Arsenal's first team. Lehmann, 37, wanted a 3-year contract extension, but the club initially only offered him a one year deal, leading to speculation that Wenger plans to replace him with someone. Fabianski is well-suited for the role.
In Fabianski's words: "I am delighted to be joining Arsenal. They are a great club with many world class players and I am really looking forward to meeting my new team mates.
"Arsenal is one of the biggest and best clubs in Europe and I hope that I can help the team win trophies in the future."
