Swansea City sign Lukasz Fabianski on a free transfer from Arsenal

Swansea City have signed goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski from Arsenal on a four-year contract, the Welsh club have confirmed.

The 29-year-old will join on 1 July on the expiration of his Arsenal contract to end a seven-year spell with the north London club, one that he signed off on with a FA Cup final victory over Hull last earlier this month.

Arsène Wenger had said that he had hoped to keep the goalkeeper as backup to Wojciech Szczesny but Fabianski rejected a new contract in order to seek more regular first-team football.

The Polish international becomes Garry Monk’s first signing as Swansea manager, and could be an indicator that the current No1 at the Liberty Stadium, Michel Vorm, will leave the club. Vorm has reportedly been the subject of interest from both Arsenal and Liverpool in recent weeks.
