Arsenal's move for Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdalde has fallen through.

The Sun says they have scrapped their plans to sign Ramsdale this summer because the Blades will not reduce their £30million asking price.

The Gunners are interested in signing a new goalkeeper as competition for current No 1 Bernd Leno and had identified the 23-year-old England star as an option.

But Arsenal were quoted £30m by the Championship side, who only signed Ramsdale from Bournemouth in the summer of 2020 for an initial £18.5m.

Arsenal and Sheffield United held talks on Wednesday but the Gunners were keen to keep their initial outlay down to fee in the region of £20m with add-ons pushing the deal closer to the Blades' price tag of £30m.

But it appears the Gunners have now completely pulled out of talks because they are unwilling to match Ramsdale's valuation.
