The winter transfer window hasn’t re-opened in Europe yet, but there are moves in the works and plenty of gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
Wolverhampton Wanderers want to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on loan with an obligation to make the deal permanent, according to the Daily Star.
Several Saudi Pro League clubs are said to be tracking 30-year-old keeper José Sá, and Wolves boss Gary O’Neil is open to moving on his No. 1 if a £35 million deal can be agreed. If that transfer comes to fruition, Ramsdale is reportedly Wolves’ first choice to replace Sa.
There have been plenty of questions surrounding the Ramsdale’s future at the Emirates following David Raya‘s arrival on loan from Brentford, with the 25-year-old happy to fight for his place at the Gunners but preferring to have guaranteed first-team football.
That is no longer provided by Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta but would be at Wolves. It is felt that a move back to the Midlands could be an appealing option for Ramsdale, who was born in Stoke-on-Trent.
Ramsdale made his first Premier League appearance since early September in Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Brentford on Saturday due to Raya not being allowed to play against his parent club.
