Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Macey will undergo a medical with Scottish Premiership side Hibernian today ahead of a permanent transfer, reports James McNicholas.
Macey, 26, has been at Arsenal since 2013 when he signed from Bristol Rovers for £100k. He began training with Arsenal’s first team before loan spells at Accrington Stanley, Luton Town and Plymouth Argyle. This season he has been used as Arsenal’s third-choice goalkeeper, although was unable to add to the two senior appearances he made for the club in the 2017–18 campaign.
Macey’s departure leaves Bernd Leno and Alex Runarrsson as Arsenal’s only senior goalkeepers, after Emiliano Martinez’s £20 million transfer to Aston Villa in the summer.
Arsenal have a number of options should they choose to cover Macey’s departure internally. They rate 18-year-old Karl Hein and 19-year-old Arthur Okonkwo very highly, and both have trained with the first team this season. 25-year-old Deyan Illiev is also due to return from his short-term loan with Shrewsbury this month.
Arsenal are still understood to admire Brentford’s David Raya and it remains the club’s plan to pursue the Spaniard in the summer transfer window. Arsenal attempted to sign Raya as a replacement for Martinez in the last transfer window, only to meet stiff resistance from the Championship club.

Okonkwo was already training with the first team 3 years ago, but then had some personal issues which sidelined him for almost a year and hampered his development. Highly-rated, but allegedly the club is planning to send him out on loan.
