Southampton are again exploring the possibility of signing Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale on loan until the end of the season having revived their interest in the England goalkeeper, the Guardian reports.
The Saints are understood to have reopened talks with Arsenal over Ramsdale after they pulled out of a move for Feyenoord’s Justin Bijlow.
A loan bid for Ramsdale was turned down earlier this month and Southampton are expected to submit an improved offer that includes an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season, although Arsenal would prefer an agreement that contains an obligation to buy.
The newly promoted club could face competition from Ajax for Ramsdale. Wolves also tried to sign the player, who has lost his place at Arsenal to David Raya, on loan but have now turned their attentions to Crystal Palace’s Sam Johnstone.
Johnstone will travel to Molineux for a medical ahead of a £10m move from Selhurst Park after losing his place there to Dean Henderson. Bournemouth – where Ramsdale spent three seasons before joining Sheffield United in 2020 – had shown an interest in re-signing him but have opted to bring in Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea on a season-long loan.
