Premier League club now in talks to sign £24m Arsenal player with obligation to buy after Vieira exit confirmed
It’s all go at Arsenal heading into the weekend and it looks like things are ramping up in terms of potential exits.
The Gunners have been hard at work all summer in a bid to try and offload players and with Emile Smith Rowe sold and Eddie Nketiah agreeing terms with Nottingham Forest, things are moving along.
Further, reports tonight have confirmed that Fabio Vieira will leave on loan to join old club Porto.
And according to Sky Sports, yet another regular fixture in Mikel Arteta’s first-team squad could now be set to follow Vieira out.
Southampton in fresh talks to sign Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal
According to Southampton are now pushing to sign Ramsdale and want to bring the stopper to St Mary’s.
It’s claimed that Southampton and Arsenal are discussing a deal, with the crux of the matter being around an obligation for the Saints to buy.

Arsenal want to ensure they sell Ramsdale as they look to bring back some of the they spent on landing him from Sheffield United in the first place.
Ramsdale has lost his place at Arsenal to David Raya and there’s no way back to the number one spot for him.
A move to Southampton, then, could very much be on the cards.
It’s claimed that Wolves and Bournemouth are also keeping watch, after reports last week suggested Wolves had themselves made an approach for Ramsdale.

It will be interesting to see where Aaron Ramsdale ends up now.
He is on a big wage at Arsenal and whoever is signing him will know they need to pick up the tab and ensure he remains a top paid player.
Southampton will be a good place to play regularly but Ramsdale will be conscious of going down again, just as he did with Bournemouth and Sheffield United.
On the surface, a move to Wolves seems to be the better option but as of now, there’s nothing concrete for him to pursue.
