Arsenal completed the signing of defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Borussia Dortmund on Monday for a reported transfer fee of £17.6 million.
The Gunners confirmed the signing on their Twitter feed, with Sokratis moving to the Emirates Stadium on a "long-term contract." Ed Aarons and Fabrizio Romano of the Guardian reported the fee on June 28:
The 30-year-old centre-back departs BVB after five seasons at the club, during which he made 130 Bundesliga appearances.
An experienced Greece international, Sokratis' arrival will likely be welcomed by Arsenal fans as the Gunners enter life after Arsene Wenger.
