On Arsenal’s current transfer situation, the ever-reliable Romano suggested that the door is still open for Arsenal to sign another player after Merino’s switch is made official.
However, despite the aforementioned mention of interest in Williams, the transfer insider insisted that, should Arsenal continue their business post-Merino, their aspirations are not ‘very big’. Romano said:
“In terms of opportunities, I would keep, in Arsenal’s case, the door open. Still nothing imminent, still nothing closer, but Arsenal are considering opportunities on the market, so I would keep the door open for a last-minute chance.
“I don't think it's going to be something very big. I see rumours on players like Nico Williams. I don't think Arsenal will do something like that, I think if they decide to do something, it's going to be something for a back-up and opportunity in the final days.”
Aaron Ramsdale Eyed by Southampton Chiefs
Loan offer tabled by Russell Martin and Co
In terms of summer outgoings, club outcast Aaron Ramsdale is believed to be on the chopping block after Raya joined the capital club on a permanent basis earlier this summer, with Russell Martin’s Southampton eyeing a move for the 26-year-old.
According to United Stand journalist Sam C, the side from the south coast – who are still preparing for life back in the Premier League – have ramped up their interest in the former Bournemouth man to the point where they have lodged an initial loan offer.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: In Ramsdale's 214-game senior career, the 26-year-old has conceded 297 goals and kept 54 clean sheets.
Stoke-on-Trent-born Ramsdale, contracted until the summer of 2026, has played 89 games for his current employers but fell out of favour under Arteta last term, proving that a move away this summer, whether it be short-term or permanent, is expected.
