Romano suggests that something could happen later in the transfer window, if and when one or two other goalkeepers move to start a chain of transfers. But for now, nothing is happening.

Earlier this week it was reported that Nottingham Forest are considering a move for Ramsdale, but they are hoping for a loan later in the summer.

It is possible that there are one or two other clubs who are biding their time with the Arsenal goalkeeper, hoping that he will be available on more favourable terms when time is running out. Ramsdale has also been linked with Southampton recently.

The goalkeeper is currently on holiday after the European Championships. Mikel Arteta has confirmed that he will be back in training at the end of this week.

Ramsdale played 11 games in the 2023/24 season, but lost his starting place to David Raya.

The England goalkeeper has openly stated that he does not want to miss another year of regular play, but if no bids come in he may have to settle for that.
