The 25-year-old starred for Colombia during the World Cup and will provide competition for Wojciech Szczesny. Ospina has turned down an offer from Valencia.
Ospina was one of several goalkeepers to impress at the World Cup, helping Colombia to a quarter-final appearance against hosts Brazil.

Wenger is in need of back-up to regular No 1 Wojciech Szczesny after the Pole's compatriot Lukasz Fabianski left the Emirates to join Swansea City on a free transfer.
The Frenchman has already bolstered his playing squad this summer with the signing of Chile forward Alexis Sanchez, from Barcelona, and also brought in Newcastle United right-back Mathieu Debuchy earlier in the week - splashing out at least £42m in the process for the pair.
