Arsenal have made fresh bid to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Dan Bentley

Arsenal have had a quiet transfer window and they have made just one first-team signing.

The Gunners confirmed a permanent transfer for goalkeeper David Raya from Brentford earlier this month. They should speed up the process in the coming days.

Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori is on the cusp of joining the club and it appears they are also pushing to land Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Dan Bentley.

According to journalist Alax Nixon, the Gunners have made a renewed offer of £300,000 for the 31-year-old after their opening bid of £50,000 was turned down by Wolves.

The Midlands outfit have quoted £1 million for the former Bristol City man, but the two clubs are close to agreeing on a compromise.

Bentley could join Arsenal for US pre-season tour

The Gunners are currently without Raya and Aaron Ramsdale after their respective teams (Spain & England) reached the final of the European Championship in Germany.

Both are unlikely to be involved in training until early August. Karl Hein, who signed a new long-term deal this summer, is currently the most senior shot-stopper for the US tour.

Academy goalkeeper Lucas Nygaard has travelled with the team after featuring against Leyton Orient yesterday, but manager Mikel Arteta would ideally want more experience in goal.

Bentley, who was described as ‘incredible‘ by former Bristol City manager Dean Holden, has 437 appearances under his belt including seven in the colours of Wolves.

The Arsenal graduate has impressed with his reflexes in goal during his short time in Midlands and Arteta will be eager to have him with the squad for the upcoming friendlies.

Arsenal take on Bournemouth on July 24 before facing Manchester United and Liverpool on July 27 and July 31 respectively (local time). They will then return home for two more friendlies.
