Arsenal will be looking to clear a few members of their squad ahead of transfer deadline day.
It has been a productive window for the team, adding more legs to the midfield and also further strengthening the backline.
Arsenal signed Mikel Merino in one of the deals of the summer, but not forgetting centre-back and Italian star, Riccardo Calafiori.
The likes of Emile Smith Rowe have joined Fulham and Fabio Vieira has returned to Porto, so the books could be balanced.
There is talk of Arsenal signing Raheem Sterling amid his exile from the Chelsea squad, as the England international looks to pick his career back up.
But whilst Sterling could possibly re-find his form again under Mikel Arteta – if he moves – another player currently at the club could be doing the same, but going in the other direction.
David Raya has taken the gloves from Aaron Ramdale and now the Englishman has been resigned to sitting on the bench and watching his career fade away.
There is talk of Ramsdale joining Southampton in a possible deal that has left Gabby Agbonlahor pretty shocked, as he told talkSPORT (28/08/24 at 4:40 pm).
The former striker thinks the £30 million signing should have ‘better options’ than playing for a newly promoted team because this would be a permanent transfer and not a loan deal.
Aaron Ramsdale to join Southampton
“Don’t you think he should have better options, though?” questioned Agbonlahor. “Would he be expecting better options, Ramsdale, than Southampton, no offence?”
David Raya is now Arsenal’s number one
Ramsdale wasn’t doing much wrong when he was in between the sticks and many were left surprised when Arteta decided to change it.
You also need to add in the fact that in the world of PSR and FFP, you have to be careful with every pound you put on the table now, but Arteta felt this change was needed.

Fast forward to the present and Arsenal have become stronger with Raya in between the sticks and he deserves to be the club’s number one.
That was proven with his stunning save to deny Ollie Watkins at the weekend, which in the end, helped Arsenal to a very important victory.
