Arsenal could now accept £120k-a-week loan bid after clear message

Arsenal can now accept a £120,000-a-week loan bid for the player, after he made one thing clear to the club's management behind the scenes.

Players Arsenal may sell before August 30

The summer deadline is just over a month away, and with Edu Gaspar's recruitment team looking to add new faces, it is possible that other players could leave Arsenal – either on loan or permanently.

Two popular senior players in Mohamed Elneny and Cedric Soares left London Colney when their contracts expired on June 30, while both Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares signed on loan elsewhere.

Tavares joined Lazio on loan at the start of the season, which included a mandatory buyout clause set at £7.5 million. The Portuguese, with his permanent transfer official at the end of next season, has signed a five-year contract with Marco Baroni's club.

Lokonga was lured to join Sevilla on a short-term contract by former Leeds United director Victor Orta, and that deal included a rumored buyout of around £10 million.

“I had some conversations with Victor,” said Lokonga about joining Sevilla.

“We had a chance to talk a long time ago and today it finally happened. For me, the most convincing thing is the chance to go back to Europe and win again. I want to be part of the team, be part of the history of the team and contribute as much as I can.”

Mikel Arteta is likely to see some interesting names form part of the company, which could include the likes of Thomas Partey, Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Tierney, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nkeitah and Emile Smith Rowe.

All of the players mentioned above have been linked with a move away, but the one player they are vying for a £120,000-a-week buyer is second-choice goalkeeper Ramsdale.

Arsenal could now accept a loan bid for Ramsdale after a clear message

The England player lost his place to David Raya last season, and the 25-year-old player has made it clear to the team managers that he will not sit on the bench for the rest of the season.

This is according to HITC, which also says that Arsenal can now accept a loan bid for Ramsdale, due to the difficulty of finding permanent applicants. The North Londoners are asking for around £40 million, and it is believed that clubs are reluctant to pay this amount for Ramsdale.

Either way, the former Bournemouth keeper is said to be set to leave this summer, but much will depend on how willing parties are to move for him.

“It's a matter of when Ramsdale leaves, not if,” said reliable reporter Charles Watts. “The important thing for Arsenal is to get value for money. I saw the initial £15 million mentioned in the reports last week and that is frankly ridiculous. Arsenal signed Ramsdale for around £30m two years ago and he has developed into an excellent goalkeeper since then.

“He is young, he is from home, an English player who has made a name for himself and has a long contract. Of course, interested clubs will know that Arsenal's position in any negotiations will be somewhat weakened once they clearly go after David Raya, but that should not mean the club should let him go. ”
