Andy Woodman is set to move to Arsenal as a goalkeeping coach
It is believed that Woodman landed the job at the Emirates ahead of ex-Palace keeper Perry Suckling, who was also on the shortlist, the Mirror claim.
As part of the club’s backroom reshuffle, fitness coach Tony Colbert will now take up a technical role in the coaching team following the arrival of former Liverpool head of fitness Darren Burgess.
Burgess, who will oversee the whole medical setup at Arsenal, has been appointed the club’s director of high performance after agreeing a move from Port Adelaide.

Arsene Wenger is making several backroom changes at Arsenal this summer
Ex-Germany fitness guru Shad Forsythe is already in the ranks as head of athletic performance enhancement, but the Gunners are reported to have wanted a shake-up behind the scenes and Burgess was strongly recommended to Arsene Wenger.
It is rumoured they are still looking at further appointments having already appointed Team Sky’s legal and commercial expert Huss Fahmy.
