Arsenal is pushing to sign Wolves goalkeeper Dan Bentley before the transfer window closes.
The Gunners are anticipated to have another busy transfer window, with several players expected to leave and new ones joining.
Mikel Arteta is provided with a substantial transfer budget each summer, and he has been effectively utilising these funds to strengthen the squad.
While Arsenal already boasts one of the strongest squads in the league, they are looking to sign a new goalkeeper this summer.
The new keeper could join as a proper third choice, but a report on Football Insider suggests that Arsenal’s interest in Bentley signals to Aaron Ramsdale that he may no longer be considered a crucial player for the team.
Arsenal is open to Ramsdale’s departure and seems to be lining up Bentley, a former academy player, as his replacement.
Their initial bid for Bentley was rejected by Wolves, but Arsenal remains determined and plans to return with a better offer.
The next bid is expected to be accepted, and the report implies that it may be time for Ramsdale to consider his future at the Emirates.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Ramsdale needs to play and would be smart to bet on himself and find a new club to join this summer.

Arsenal submitting bids to sign one of Wolves and Ajax goalkeepers Dan Bentley and Tommy Setford this summer. Has clearly shown that Arteta wants Aaron Ramsdale out of Arsenal on sale this summer window.
Hopefully, it is nothing personal between Arteta and Ramsdale.but Arteta wants him offloaded on professionalism grounds.
For, Ramsdale is a top class quality goalie who can still be number one first team choice goalkeeper at Arsenal but if Arteta wants it so.
Nevertheless, I can’t see Ramsdale lacking suitors to sign him if he’s forced to leave the Gunners this summer. But have them many who want to sign him.
So therefore, let us await what will happen finally on this matter. But whatever may happen, Arsenal will be very successful in all the competitions they will compete in them to win titles next season and win them unfailingly.
Arsenal and Arteta have done their best to destroy Ramsdale’s career. The manager knew when he went in for Raya that Ramsfdale was going to be frozen out, but with a number of Premier League teams interested in Ramsdale, the club held onto him and, as planned, nailed him to the bench. For the last
In 2023/24 Ramsdale played in 6 league games – all wins.
He played in four cup games, a win, a draw, and two losses
He played in one Champions League match – a win.
That’s after playing in 2022/23 in all 38 league games, losing 6.
He was beginning to get chances in the England team, but being benched all but ended his international career.
Expect Arsenal to put a Ridiculously high price on him to poison the market, then nail him to the bench for another year, further destroying his value; or sending him on loan to a horrible team.
Arsenal have done the same thing to Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson.
It is enough to make you sick.
paul35mm, why would Arteta want to destroy Ramsdale, Nelson and ESR ‘s careers?
If they don’t fit into his plans, wouldn’t he want to get as much transfer fee as possible?
Agrees with you totally
Even if Ramsdale stays, Arsenal would still need another keeper because Carl Hein is probably off on loan next season
That wasn’t an offer. More of an insult.
Every Gooner would like to have the luxury of two top class keepers in Raya and Ramsdale. Unfortunately, in the real world that hardly ever happens simply because you can’t ensure both keepers enough game time to satisfy them (for club or international purposes). If you could every club would have two like that, but they don’t. There’s always a clear first choice.
Arsenal is very unlikely to get the reported £50m for Ramsdale. If the position was reversed and Arsenal were interested in buying him, would they pay that for a second-choice keeper? Of course not.
As in the case of Eddie, Arsenal will almost certainly have to settle on a lower fee for Ramsdale if they want the player (and his wages) off their books this summer. Holding out for a ridiculous valuation is pointless.
If/when Ramsdale goes, Arsenal needs to get someone who is good enough to step in when needed/play in the domestic cups etc. but won’t replicate the Raya/Ramsdale dilemma. A good, solid, second choice in other words.
He might have to take a pay cut to join a lower-down team I read that he’s on 120k a week He’s a very well-paid deputy A lot of keepers would be happy in his place
