Couldn't catch coronavirus in a Wuhan laboratory.

Worst keeper I've seen at Arsenal.

We started this guy against Man City. Crazy. Maybe makes the Top 5 of worst signings.

Arsenal are planning to put Alex Runarsson up for sale in the summer transfer window - according to football.london.

The 27-year-old was sent out on loan to Belgian side Leuven after falling down the goalkeeping pecking order at Emirates Stadium.

Runarsson is due to return to Arsenal at the end of the season but they will then look for a permanent buyer or another loan suitor for the Icelandic shot-stopper.

Can't believe he played more games for us than the legend Takuma Asano.

If we can’t even sell Aubameyang/chambers for money theirs no way anyone will pay for this guy, we’d have to pay them

Google Translate (Icelandic to English)

Rúnar Alex to train at Arsenal this week - Not sure what will happen this summer.

Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson returns to training with Arsenal this week after a break at OH Leuven in Belgium. It is uncertain what will happen this summer.

Rúnar joined Arsenal two years ago and played with the team in the English Premier League as well as playing in the European League and League Cup.

Rúnar was loaned to Belgium last summer and had a good start in the top division in Belgium. "It is not clear what will happen this summer, he is just going to train with Arsenal now," says Magnús Agnar Magnússon, Rúnar's agent, in a conversation with 433.is.

Magnús says that Rúnar will not return to Leuven in Belgium but will look at other options that could arise.

Arsenal have completed the purchase of Matt Turner, but the club already has Aaron Ramsdale and Bernd Leno in their ranks. Leno is expected to leave this summer and it is more likely than not that Rúnar will leave Arsenal.

Rúnar is 27 years old but he has played for Nordsjælland, Dijon, Arsenal and most recently Leuven in his career.

How do we struggle to sell all our players? Surely someone would take a punt on this guy for 500k?

Apparently agreed a permanent move to Antalyaspor, or another Turkish club

Another loan unfortunately. Earlier indications were that it would be permanent.

Is this guy honestly so bad that a 28yo that's played his whole life in the MLS made the squad ahead of him?

Really poor scouting in recruiting these light weight players like Runarsson, Miyachi and Trusty ( I am afraid). Better to belive in academy players more as they have the DNA and familiarity.
