Swansea City sign Arsenal youngster Josh Vickers

Swansea City have completed the signing of goalkeeper Josh Vickers from Arsenal.

The 19-year-old becomes the third shot-stopper that the Swans have brought in this season, following the return of Gerhard Tremmel and the capture of Kristoffer Nordfeldt from Heerenveen.

Vickers, who has signed a two-year deal at the Liberty Stadium, worked with Swansea goalkeeping coach Tony Roberts and new teammate Lukasz Fabianski at Arsenal.

"I'm really pleased to have signed my contract with the club," Vickers told Swansea's official website.

"I have been here five or six weeks now, taking part in some great matches and feel I have settled in well. It's going to be great to work with Tony and Lukasz again and everyone has welcomed me really well.

"This club is going in the right direction. How the first team performed last year is breathing confidence though the whole team, it is a club on the up and its great to be a part of."

Vickers had been on trial with the Swans since the beginning of July.
