Wolverhampton Wanderers have submitted a proposal to sign Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal.
The Molineux side made contact with their Premier League counterparts on Monday, offering an initial loan move for Ramsdale that would include the option to buy next summer.
Wolves are also ready to cover the majority of the goalkeeper’s salary as part of a potential deal.
There is an acceptance at the west Midlands club that it will be a difficult transfer to pull off, owing to the finances involved, but they are pursuing the situation and dialogue continues.
It is unclear at this point if Wolves back-up Dan Bentley, who Arsenal have tried to recruit in this transfer window, will be part of the talks.
Arsenal would rather sell Ramsdale than let him leave on a temporary basis and recently turned down an approach from Ajax, while the likes of Southampton have also expressed an interest.
The 26-year-old England international is under contract until 2026 and his terms can be extended by 12 months, however a move is being sought by Arsenal and Ramsdale after David Raya established himself as first choice.
Should Ramsdale exit, Arsenal have targeted Espanyol’s Joan Garcia as a possible replacement.
Wolves began the new Premier League campaign with a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal, where Ramsdale was an unused substitute. They are next in action at home to Chelsea on Sunday.
