Arsenal has confirmed a late season-long loan for 20-year-old goalkeeper Tommy Setford, who will join Stevenage for the 2026/27 campaign in League One. The move followed Stevenage's first-choice goalkeeper Filip Marschall's departure to Millwall FC. Initially, Las Palmas showed interest in Setford, but negotiations fell through.
The young goalkeeper will likely find ample opportunity to develop his skills in the competitive match environment of League One. Arsenal now has three senior goalkeepers alongside Illan Meslier, Mikel Arteta, and Kepa Arrizabalaga. Setford made his debut for Arsenal in the FA Cup against Wigan Athletic during the 2025/26 season and has had limited opportunities in the previous year.
