The Dynamo Dresden keeper, rated as one of the best young keepers in Europe, is set to join Arsenal on a free transfer this summer.
Schubert is rated by sources in Germany as a modern “footballing” goalkeeper, similar to Arsenal first choice Bernd Leno. Schubert, who turned 21 yesterday, has been pencilled in to be the long term understudy and challenger to Leno.
Although the deal is not officially completed yet, Arsenal are already exploring the possibility of loaning Schubert out for the forthcoming season. They have contacted Championship clubs about him as well as teams back in Germany.
Schubert, like Leno, was initially identified for Arsenal by Sven Mislintat during his brief spell as head of recruitment there.
He left earlier this season having been looked over for the new technical director job at the club.
