The highly-rated French shot-stopper is likely to provide current goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski, who is out of contract next summer, with some fierce competition.
Areola will arrive at the Olympic Stadium with a wealth of experience having lifted 14 major trophies in his professional career, including being part of France’s 2018 World Cup-winning squad.
