According to twatter...

The fee is about £8.8 million it's subject to a medical according to most respectable media outlets.

Sky Sports is respectable enough imo:

Better than nothing I suppose.

I wasn't so enthusiastic at first due to reports on his lack of pace/acceleration but thinking about how most of our goals were conceded from set pieces last season, this could actually be just the signing we need. :)

At least I've heard of him and he's 6' 6" which will add some much needed height.
Could be a decent signing. Need more but it's a start.

Doubt he'll stay 6' 6" for long once he starts playing for us.

Set to undergo a medical - bbc ticker

8.8 million f*ck me, of all the defenders we could have signed he's got to be one of the worst, well done Wenger.

Let's hope the signings get better from here.......
