Arsenal are reportedly still making a new goalkeeper a priority transfer target this summer as they continue to chase Sheffield United ace Aaron Ramsdale.
The England international caught the eye at Bramall Lane last season, even if he couldn’t help the Blades avoid relegation from the Premier League, with the player earning himself a place in Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2020 squad.
