Arsenal may sell German goalkeeper Bernd Leno next summer.
The 29-year old German has two years left on his current deal at the Emirates, but has expressed a desire to explore other opportunities, and has been linked with a move to Inter Milan.
He started the first three Premier League games of the season, conceding nine goals, although most of them were not his fault, and he did produce some good saves in that time.
Nevertheless, he was dropped in favour of new signing Aaron Ramsdale for the match against Norwich City on Saturday, and the England man attracted praise from his manager Mikel Arteta for the way he commanded his box and communicated with his defence.
Having paid £24 million for Ramsdale, it was always the intention that he would provide competition for Leno, but his rise to become number one at the club may be happening faster than most people anticipated.
