Premier League club considering partial swap deal to sign 26-year-old Arsenal player

Wolves are considering including Dan Bentley in a swap deal to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking to strengthen their goalkeeping position ahead of next season and have set their sights on Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale. According to a report from Football Insider, Wolves are considering using Dan Bentley in a deal to bring the England international to the club.

David Raya’s arrival at Arsenal saw Ramsdale relegated to the bench. He played a reserve role last season after being their number one for years. The 26-year-old has no intention of sitting on the bench next season and is pushing for a move away from the club.

Although he has two years left on his contract with the North London club, they do not want to stand in his way. Mikel Arteta’s team are willing to accept his departure, but they want more than £30 million to sell the England goalkeeper. With his future at the club uncertain, the Gunners have tried to sign Dan Bentley from Wolves as their second choice. The 31-year-old was part of their academy at the time and they believe he could be a great addition to their squad.

Aaron Ramsdale needs a fresh start

While Wolves are ready to sell Jose Sa and replace him with Ramsdale, the £30 million asking price could prove to be a tough ask for them. With the Gunners keen on Bentley’s signature, Wolves are considering making him part of their deal. While Arsenal would welcome the addition, it is unlikely to have any effect on the asking price.

The North London club’s initial bid of £50,000 for Bentley was rejected. While they were set to make a further offer of £300,000, and Wolves wanted him to be part of the Ramsdale deal, it will be interesting to see how things develop.
