David Ospina: Arsenal sign Colombia keeper, says Nice coach
Ospina, 25, has been with the French Ligue 1 side since 2008 and helped his country reach the quarter-finals at the recent World Cup in Brazil.
Puel said of the move: "It's confirmed, yes. It's a good affair for Arsenal because he's a very good player."
Speaking after Saturday's match, the Arsenal manager said that Ospina had proved his worth at Nice by replacing France keeper Hugo Lloris, now at Tottenham.
Wenger said: "I've known him for a long time because he played for Nice - he went there a few years ago and slowly became a very important player for them.
"Hugo Lloris played for Nice before he moved to Lyon. After he moved, they played Ospina. He had a big impact straight away and Lloris was not an easy player to replace."
Puel, speaking to Sky Sports News after Nice were beaten 3-2 at Brentford in a friendly on Saturday, said: "It's a good affair for Arsenal because he's a very good player. You will see next season the quality of this player."
New York Red Bulls 1-0 Arsenal
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry gained victory over his former club in a pre-season friendly in the Red Bull Arena.
The only goal came on the half-hour when former Southampton striker Bradley Wright-Phillips poked home from Henry's corner.
Wenger said: "We had no Olivier Giroud, no Theo Walcott, no Alexis Sanchez and no Lukas Podolski. Chuba Akpom did well but he's a young boy and he has to learn a lot but he has potential.
"We were dominated physically in the first half, we came back into it in the last 10 minutes their keepers made a few saves and our combinations were better. We lacked a bit of pace without any centre forward."
Arsenal (4-3-2-1): Szczesny (Martinez 46); Jenkinson (Bellerin 46), Hayden (Miquel 46), Monreal, Gibbs; Arteta (Diaby 46), Wilshere (Coquelin 46), Ramsey (Flamini 46); Zelalem (Akpom 46), Cazorla (Olsson 71 ); Rosicky (Toral 71).
