Update on £25m Aaron Ramsdale transfer deal
It looks as though Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is heading to Southampton this summer. The former Bournemouth stopper, who was displaced by David Raya as the club’s No.1 last season, is no stranger to the south coast. Here’s an update on his future from Sky Sports;
Arsenal urged to make last-ditch move for Toney
Emmanuel Petit has admitted he believes Arsenal signing Ivan Toney can push them to the Premier League title.
The Gunners have shown an interest in the past but those links have cooled significantly since. However, Petit believes his former club should sign him because of the threat he possesses in front of goal.
“Arsenal need a 20-goals-per-season striker, they currently have a few players who can score 10-15 goals per season, like how Man City used to be,” he told Gambling Zone.
“Pep Guardiola changed the system because he knew he needed a striker who could score lots of goals. In Erling Haaland’s first season, he broke goal-scoring records and won the Champions League.
“Mikel Arteta will follow the steps of Guardiola, the way their teams play and a striker would be a cherry on top of the cake.”
“I think Nico Williams or someone like Ivan Toney could replicate Haaland’s output at Arsenal. Toney has a great relationship with Bryan Mbeumo, understanding the timing and movements of your teammates is something important for Arsenal and I think he could be the man that spearheads them to the title – a late move could do them wonders.”
