What Arsenal are demanding after rejecting Southampton’s first Aaron Ramsdale bid
Arsenal are set for a busy end to the summer transfer window as they look to apply the finishing touches to their squad.
The Gunners have made two new senior signings this summer, with Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino now in Mikel Arteta’s ranks.
Arsenal have also been very proactive in terms of moving fringe players on, with Emile Smith Rowe, Nuno Tavares and Albert Sambi Lokonga.
In addition, Eddie Nketiah is reportedly closing in on a move to Crystal Palace, with a medical scheduled for Wednesday.
Aaron Ramsdale is another player Arsenal are in talks over moving on, but the deal appears to have hit a snag.

Arsenal want Aaron Ramsdale loan fee and wages covered as Southampton remain confident of deal
According to , the Gunners have rejected Southampton’s bid, a first formal approach that did not meet the north Londoners’ requirements.
In addition, Arsenal are reportedly demanding that all of Ramsdale’s wages be covered as part of a any loan agreement. They’re also insisting on a £5million loan fee.
However, Southampton remain in contact with Arsenal and are positive on the prospect of getting the deal done before the 30 August deadline, added the report.
Ramsdale deal set to benefit all parties
It’s not unusual for deals to come across stumbling blocks as differences emerge among any of the parties involved.
Perhaps the Saints were just testing the waters with their first bid and, now it’s been rejected, they will look to up their offer.
Hopefully this deal goes through, as it will benefit all parties.
Southampton get themselves a “brilliant” goalkeeper worthy of any top Premier League team, Ramsdale gets to play first-team football again, and Arsenal get him off their wage bill at the very least.
It’s now up to the Saints to ensure that the Gunners get adequate compensation for parting company with their asset.
