Arsenal submit ‘improved bid’ for Prem star as Newcastle, Southampton eye neglected Gunner

Arsenal have reportedly submitted an improved bid for Wolves goalkeeper Daniel Bentley as Mikel Arteta searches for an Aaron Ramsdale replacement.

The Gunners have already seen a low-ball £50,000 bid rejected by Gary O’Neil’s side and have increased their offer to £300,000.

This comes after Arsenal secured the permanent signing of David Raya from Brentford after triggering the £27m buy option clause in his loan agreement.

The Spaniard will remain Mikel Arteta’s main man between the sticks and as a result, Ramsdale is looking to move elsewhere in favour of more playing time.

Arsenal have identified Bentley as the ideal replacement for Ramsdale and journalist Alan Nixon claims they are ‘hopeful’ of clinching a deal after increasing their offer.

Wolves were far from happy with Arsenal’s initial £50k bid though and previous reports suggest they want £1m for the goalkeeper’s signature.

Bentley, 30, joined Wolves from Bristol City in January 2023 for a nominal fee. He has made just nine appearances for the club and is open to a move to the Emirates.
