That is according to a report on Sunday from The Athletic’s David Ornstein.

The clubs have been in talks over the England U20 goalkeeper for a fee in the region of €1 million plus bonuses.

It is expected that Setford will sign a four-year deal at the Emirates Stadium.

The 18-year-old will join Lucas Nygaard in strengthening the club’s youth goalkeeping options after his arrival from Nordsjaelland.

However, it is not expected at this time that he will immediately challenge Aaron Ramsdale’s back-up role, with the England man facing continued uncertainty regarding his future.
