Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is aiming to spend big in the coming weeks of the summer market.

As it stands, Nuno Tavares is the only confirmed signing for Arsenal so far this summer after agreeing to a £6.8million deal.

Arteta now said to be interested in adding Sheffield United's Aaron Ramsdale and Norwich City's Max Aarons to his ranks for the 2021-2022 season.

Arteta is looking to add an additional goalkeeper to his squad and has named Ramsdale as a potential target.

Having conceded 39 goals in 38 games in the previous campaign, Arteta believes Ramsdale's shot stopping qualities could benefit the Gunners next term.

As a result, Arsenal will move forward with a bid and should he accept, Ramsdale could emerge as Arsenal's No 1 between the sticks.

The Athletic reports Hector Bellerin is likely to depart the Emirates after 10 years with the club, having made 239 appearances for the North London club.

Norwich City's Aarons is understood to be the likely choice as a replacement. However, Arsenal will face stiff competition from rivals Tottenham for his signature.
