Arsenal have lined up Justin Bijlow to replace Aarson Ramsdale
Ramsdale is set to leave the Gunners this summer
Bijlow, 26, was wanted by Manchester United last summer but the Red Devils baulked at the £22million asking price.
According to the Mirror, The Netherlands international could now be available for £10m and is on the Gunners’ shortlist.
Despite having a couple of injury setbacks and no longer being the Dutch No1 he is still highly respected.
With two years left on his contract at Feyenoord, Arsenal will decide whether to press ahead with a move for the shotstopper in the next few days, the report claims.
Bijlow’s old boss Slot, who has just moved to Liverpool, is understood to be interested in bringing his former star to Anfield.
However, the new Reds boss may be reluctant to make his first signing a player from his old side to avoid getting tied up in the Dutch market.
Meanwhile, Arteta’s side will sign David Raya permanently from Brentford for £30m after his successful season at the club.
Raya won the Premier League’s Golden Glove award for the most clean sheets this term.

Arsenal let go of their third-choice keeper Arthur Okonkwo while Karl Hein is lined up to become the Gunners No3 meaning their No2 spot will need to be filled.
