Aaron Ramsdale is expected to receive offers for a Premier League transfer at the end of the season.
Newcastle United are currently considered as the club most likely to attempt to take him away from Arsenal, according to sources – but other options are also likely to surface.
Arsenal will complete the permanent signing of David Raya from Brentford in the summer and that will cement his status as their long term No.1.
Mikel Arteta said he intended to share the role between the two goalkeepers but loanee Raya has started 26 games across the Premier League and Champions League while Ramsdale has been limited to just six.
Ramsdale has displayed ultimate professionalism over the course of this season and has continued to train well to put himself in contention for any matchday.
However, there is a clear barrier to first-team action at this time and ahead of the European Championship, the 25-year-old keeper will be considering his options.

Ramsdale is still expected to make Gareth Southgate’s squad for Euro 2024, despite the lack of game time for Arsenal – yet conversations will open up in the summer around his next step.
Newcastle are intrigued by his situation and see him as a candidate to help them long-term, while sources believe one other club to look out for will be Chelsea – who are expected to sell goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in the summer.
Dorde Petrovic has been impressive since taking on the No.1 role recently and the Serb has shown great capabilities despite a relatively low-profile transfer from New England Revolution in the summer as he signed a seven-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
He is highly thought of inside the camp but it is likely Chelsea continue to remain open minded about bringing in another top stopper for next season.
