Arsenal are in for a big summer on the incoming front. The Gunners are looking to sign a new striker, a right winger, a midfielder and potentially a new centre-back as well.

It will be yet another summer of lavish spending funded, in part, via the sales of homegrown talent. As FootballTransfers exclusively revealed, three Hale End academy graduates, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson and Emile Smith Rowe, have been earmarked as summer sacrifices in a bid to generate pure profit.

These three, however, aren't the only players likely to depart the Emirates in the upcoming transfer window. Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Cedric Soares, who is out of contract, will definitely head for the exit.

Moreover and more interestingly, the Italian transfer expert has also confirmed that Aaron Ramsdale will consider his options in the summer after being displaced as Arsenal's number one by David Raya this season. The Spaniard's loan from Brentford has already been made permanent behind the scenes, just pending an official announcement.

Romano on Ramsdale

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said of Ramsdale: "I told you multiple times about David Raya - Arsenal will buy David Raya from Brentford, it will be made a permanent transfer for the Spanish goalkeeper. Aaron Ramsdale wants to play more."

"Aaron Ramsdale doesn't want to spend one more season on the bench. He has been fantastic, let me say, in terms of behaviour, with the manager, with the fans and with his teammates, especially with David Raya, supporting him as always."

"But also for Ramsdale in the summer it's going to be time to look at new solutions because he wants to play. He can't stay at Arsenal on the bench regularly and so that's why Arsenal will look at opportunities for Ramsdale and also Ramsdale himself will explore options around the market to find a new solution."
