Arsenal goalkeeper Alex Runarsson is in talks to leave for Turkey.

Goal says the Icelandic stopper is close to a move to Turkish side Altay Spor, who earned promotion to the Super Lig last season.

It does not yet appear clear whether it will be a permanent move or a loan switch, with the deal yet to be finalised.

The £1million arrival last summer was brought in to provide back-up to Bernd Leno, but an error-strewn performance against Manchester City saw manager Mikel Arteta bring in Mat Ryan from Brighton on loan for the rest of the season, demoting Runarsson to third choice.
