Since the sale of Argentine national team goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to Aston Villa, Arsenal have lacked quality in the goalkeeper position. The first choice has been German Bernd Leno for a couple of seasons now, while reserve goalkeepers like Runar Alex Runarsson and since then Matthew Ryan have not managed to challenge the German first goalkeeper.

According to The Boot Room Football, The Gunners are once again trying to bring in a new goalkeeper to challenge Leno. The first priority is the English Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who Arsenal have been looking for for a long time, however, the club is not ready to meet Sheffield United's price requirement of 30 Million.

Therefore, the focus should now be on the 32-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper Neto, who Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is a big fan of, as he is good with his feet, which is important for Arteta. At the same time, it is expected that Neto can be picked up for a smaller amount than Ramsdale and that he would more easily be able to come to terms with the role of reserve goalkeeper.
