Arsenal in talks for second loan deal as dilemma emerges over £1.7m summer transfer

The future of Arsenal youngster Arthur Okonkwo will be on Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar's agenda this summer.

The goalkeeper, who earned a first-team promotion ahead of the 2021/22 season after signing a new contract, sees his deal at the Emirates Stadium expire in just under 12 months' time, therefore a decision has to be made one way or another before deadline day in September.

For the Gunners to receive a fee, ideally they would have to cash in on the 21-year-old during the summer transfer window, but if he's seen by Arteta and the coaching staff as a long-term competitor to Aaron Ramsdale in between the sticks then a contract extension could be in the pipeline.
