Marcos flying to Arsenal



By Myles Palmer

Exciting news today that Brazilian keeper Marcos is flying in tonight.

He’s 29 and a magnificent keeper.

All this talk of 21-year old and 23-year old keepers was getting me down, so I’m glad to hear about an experienced international arriving at last.

The fee is $4m to Palmeiras.

Marcos is needed for a game on Friday back in Brazil.

He would sign in the summer and play next season.
