Arsenal reject offer from Premier League rivals for out-of-favour goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale ahead of January window

A team from the bottom half of the Premier League have made an approach for the England international, according to Football.London, but the Gunners have turned it down. The London team have no intention of letting Ramsdale go despite his status as second choice behind David Raya.

Arsenal have no intention of letting Ramsdale leave in the January transfer window, according to the report, while the 25-year-old wants his next move to be one that takes his career forward. He has, however, admitted that he is "suffering and hurting" since losing his place in the first-team to Raya, suggesting he may want to leave north London soon if there is no route back to being Mikel Artea's first choice.

Ramsdale was back in the Arsenal starting XI for their 1-0 win against Brentford on Saturday - his first start in a Premier League match since early-September. The shot stopper made a blunder that gave Brentford an opportunity, though they failed to score from it. He was given the nod to play against the Bees because Raya was ineligible given he is on loan at Arsenal from Thomas Frank's team.

Ramsdale may be back on the bench on Wednesday when Arteta's side face Sevilla in the Champions League, with Raya available again. The Englishman may push for a move away from the Emirates Stadium before long to ensure he gets more playing time.
