Arsenal are planning a fresh bid to sign Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale this summer, talkSPORT reports.

The Gunners are eyeing a new back-up goalkeeper to provide competition to Bernd Leno, and Ramsdale has emerged as the top target.

They have already failed with a couple of bids for the Englishman and are now prepared to make a renewed offer worth £30 million.

Sportslens view:

The Gunners had Mat Ryan as their back-up goalkeeper earlier this year as he made the temporary switch from Brighton & Hove Albion.

They were keen on signing him permanently, but he joined Real Sociedad after receiving assurances of a starting role.

With the lack of confidence in Alex Runarsson, the club are actively searching for a new deputy to Leno, and Ramsdale appears the prime target.

The 23-year-old had a save percentage of 70.7 in the Premier League last season, which was much better than Leno’s average of 69.2.

Despite this, Ramsdale was vulnerable to shots from outside the box, and he conceded 15 goals from such situations over the entire campaign.

Hence, there has been a mixed response from the club’s supporters after learning of the club’s concrete interest in signing the shot-stopper.

Here are a few reactions on Twitter.

Imagine selling Martinez for £17M and then buying Ramsdale the next season for £30M. Only @Arsenal could do something so brain dead
