Arsenal submit transfer offer for Premier League star tagged a team player

Arsenal have reportedly submitted an offer to Wolves to sign goalkeeper Dan Bentley this summer transfer window.

The opening bid was immediately turned down by Gary O’Neil’s side, with it well below their valuation, as the 30-year-old is a valued member of the squad, as per the Athletic. Contact from Emirates Stadium to express an interest in signing Bentley was made a few days ago while it was also revealed Wolves value him at £1million.

Despite being linked to different players this summer, Arsenal’s only business has come from the goalkeeping department. Earlier this month, Arsenal announced the permanent signing of David Raya from Brentford in a £27million deal.

Aaron Ramsdale has also been strongly linked to an exit, with Newcastle one club showing an interest in his signature. However, Arsenal are looking at signing Bentley as their third-choice shot-stopper to boost ranks in pre-season.

With Ramsdale and Raya participating in Euro 2024, both goalkeepers will be given an extended break and will resume camp in the later stages of pre-season. The potential addition of Bentley will help Mikel Arteta secure the goalkeeping department.

Further talks for Bentley are likely to occur and they may also see Arteta and Edu enquire about two of his teammates. Joao Gomes and Pedro Neto are players also linked to the London club.
