Free, and most people have never heard of him. Think this one has legs.

How old is he? Doesn't look very young...

Wiki says he's 26

Lets get him purely because he is Colombian!

(going by the vid) good shot stopper, good instincts, good recovery, determination, brave enough, seems like proper attitude for a GK. But not even one cross situation in that vid, no high balls at all (and David O ain't no Goliath), corners, come out or stay in goal dilemma, nada. And he looks 40 (a plus for a keeper? ).

John Cross saying he'll join next week.

I'd prefer a nasty goalkeeper to a Nice one!

His contract doesn't run out until next summer according to transfermarkt.

I actually rate Ochoa hire and he is on free transfer. Not sure why we ain't in for him.

I have no idea what that says but i like that our man is second on the list.

I would imagine that it's a list of GKs with the highest save percentage in the top 5 leagues last season with a minimum of 20 appearances.

I'm going to guess its a passing stat. Buffon is often number 1 in those, he always looks to pass it out.

Only Gianluigi Buffon (81.1%) had a better saves to shots ratio than David Ospina (80.3%) in the top five leagues last season.

Twitter comes to the rescue.

Bah what good is shot stopping? All about distribution and sweeping now

Done deal according to @mattspiro

Somewhat relevant (from whoscored):

Shezza should be a bit worried. Ospina's #kwalitee

Sounds like a smart move from us. He's roughly at the same stage in his career as Szczesny, both have had good experience.

How are we getting such a good keeper for so little money. Is it the last year of his contract?

Real competition for Szczesny is great, it will only make him better.

Yes it is Nels.

If we wrap this up next week it will be really good work by the club so far this transfer window.

Announcement on thursday hopefully!

This is a good move. It might push one of them to the next level.

Good move. Let's keep going.

Decent keeper, don't rate him as much as some of you guys here. Szczesny is still better for me but he can definitely push him.

Yeah I'd agree with that Clrnc, he's not tall or physically commanding enough for the PL but Szcz needs some competition now that Fanni is leaving.

Szcz is top class in a lot of areas. He isn't going anywhere.

Its a back up keeper, as long as he's not utter shite I don't mind.

Pretty much.

Widely reported in the newspapers now. Pretty happy with this, good thing because we were losing a decent player in Fabianski.
