Arsenal ready to go with £30M Ramsdale over Johnstone

Arsenal are ready to bid big for Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

TalkSPORT reports the North Londoners have this week been linked with a move for West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone, with reports emerging that Mikel Arteta's side would rival West Ham for the 28-year-old's signature.

However, the Gunners prefer Ramsdale over Johnstone, and are preparing to make a £30m move for the Blades keeper, aged 23.

Arsenal are understood to be in the market for a new stopper, amid doubts surrounding current No 1 Bernd Leno.

Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Barcelona No 2 Neto, with the cash-strapped Spaniards in need of a financial boost this window.
