Arsenal have been heavily linked with Aaron Ramsdale in recent weeks.

Indeed, the Gunners are reportedly looking to submit a “decisive” bid for the 23-year-old goalkeeper.

Arsenal are yet to bolster their goalkeeping ranks this summer.

Bernd Leno remains first-choice for the Gunners, but Alex Runarsson has fallen out of favour at the Emirates Stadium.

Indeed, Karl Hein was Arteta’s goalkeeping option on the bench against Brentford.

Sheffield United boss Slavisa Jokanovic has today admitted that Arsenal are “pushing” to land Ramsdale.

The Examiner asked Jokanovic about the 23-year-old’s future.

“I don’t know,” he said. “If you ask me if I want him to leave, then no.

“He’s a Sheffield United player now and it will depend on the club, our club and also Arsenal too.

“They are the principal club pushing for him.

“In this moment there is no change, we will see what happens in the future.”

Jokanovic also said Ramsdale “naturally… wants to be a Premier League player” and “Arsenal is pushing from one side and I am pulling from a different side”.

Can Arsenal land “incredible” goalkeeper?

Ramsdale has made 46 appearances for Sheffield United since joining them from Bournemouth in 2020.

The 6ft 2in ace played in all 38 Premier League games for his club last term.

Ramsdale was part of England’s Euro 2020 squad that reached the final but is yet to make his full international debut.

Jurgen Klopp deemed the keeper “incredible” after Liverpool beat Sheffield United 2-0 in March.

“Ramsdale played an incredible game, few outstanding saves,” The Examiner quoted the Reds boss as saying.
