Arsenal has officially terminated the contract of goalkeeper Alex Runarsson during the ongoing transfer window, paving the way for his move to FC Copenhagen. The Icelandic international, who arrived at Arsenal from Dijon, endured a challenging stint marked by underwhelming performances that relegated him to the role of a reserve goalkeeper.
Following an extended period without significant playing time, Runarsson spent much of his tenure with Arsenal out on loan. With no viable pathway to the first team, given the presence of two established goalkeepers competing for the starting position, the 28-year-old has opted to seek opportunities elsewhere.
FC Copenhagen has emerged as the destination willing to take a chance on Runarsson, as reported by BT. In line with this move, Arsenal has formally terminated his contract, effectively concluding his association with the club.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Runarsson had a disastrous spell with us, and most of us were genuinely surprised that the club even moved for a player like him.
He will get chances to play at Copenhagen and is probably at their level.

Thanks for the ace performance against Citeh in the Carabao Cup Alex…. Good luck as seemed a nice guy

A signing that didn’t work out unfortunately for him and us. In the grand scheme of things in the mad world of football, his weekly salary according to Sportrac was £15000pw or £780kpa which is barely noticeable if compared to others
