Arsenal have signed right-sided defender Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free transfer.
Lichtsteiner, 34, joins from Juventus where he made over 250 appearances and won the Serie A title seven years in a row.
“Stephan brings huge experience and leadership to our squad,” Arsenal head coach Unai Emery said.
“He’s a player with great quality with a very positive and determined attitude. Stephan will improve us on and off the pitch.”

He will wear the No. 12 for Arsenal, who said the deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
