Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on loan, according to The ยูฟ่าเบท.
Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo wants Ramsdale to be his first-choice goalkeeper. But is unwilling to pay the £50m Arsenal are demanding.
On the other hand, the ‘Foresters’ are willing to take the risk. And wait for Arsenal to let the 26-year-old goalkeeper go on loan at the end of the transfer window.
There have been no suitable offers for Ramsdale so far, but a number of Premier League clubs are keeping an eye on him.
Forest believe paying Ramsdale’s full wages plus a big bonus could give them a real chance of signing the player.
However, it is also a high-risk one, with another top target Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnston, potentially moving to another club. With a number of teams interested.
Most recently, it was claimed that Southampton. Were prepared to step up interest in Ramsdale after Euro 2024. Again, the Saints were hoping for a loan move.
Despite Nixon’s claim that Arsenal want £50m, James McNicholas of The Athletic previously reported that the Gunners expect to recoup a fee in the region of £30m.
Arsenal are also looking to replace Ramsdale. And have yet to agree a deal with Wolves for back-up goalkeeper Dan Bentley.
The Gunners are keen on a reliable goalkeeper to provide back-up to David Raya. But Bentley is too expensive and has now been offered a new contract by the club.
