Arsenal are close to signing England youth goalkeeper Tommy Setford.

Setford has come through the Ajax youth system along with his older brother Charlie.

However, the Dutch giants are willing to sell Tommy, and a fee in the region of 鈧1m (拢840,000) has been agreed for the 18-year-old, who was born in the Netherlands.

A medical is planned and providing all goes as expected, Setford will join a goalkeeping group that is expected to see the exit of England's Aaron Ramsdale before the transfer window closes at the end of next month.
