Another goalkeeper's name was thrown into the hat today as Evening Standard report that Arsenal have been offered to sign PSG's Alphonse Areola on loan for the 2020/21 season.
The Frenchman would be a short-term solution to Arsenal's goalkeeping problem should Emi Martinez leave for pastures new - Aston Villa are currently linked with the Argentinian the most with Tom Heaton out injured.
Arsenal prioritise Brentford's David Raya as a backup shot-stopper, should the need arise. This is partly because he is well-known to the Gunners' goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana, who used to work at Brentford.
The Bees are reluctant to sell their goalie, however, especially since highly-rated Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma are likely to leave for big money this window, which will diminish Brentord's need for cash.
Areola spent the 2019/20 campaign on loan at Real Madrid but played second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois the entire season. His last season as regular starter for PSG was the 2017/18 campaign, during which he kept 17 clean sheets in 34 league matches.
