Wolverhampton Wanderers have rejected a £50,000 bid from Arsenal for goalkeeper Daniel Bentley.

The Gunners are looking for a back-up for David Raya, with doubts surrounding Aaron Ramsdale's future.

But their offer falls well short of Wolves' valuation, especially as Gary O'Neil's side would need to source a replacement.

Wolves start their Premier League campaign on 17 August at Arsenal and would only have Tom King, who joined from Northampton last year, as senior support for number one Jose Sa.

Ramsdale's position at Arsenal is uncertain after he lost his place to Raya last season. He made just six Premier League appearances, and 11 in all competitions, having joined from Sheffield United in 2021.

Bentley, who joined Wolves from Bristol City in January 2023, made just five Premier League appearances last season.

The 30-year-old is in Spain on Wolves' pre-season training camp before they fly to the USA for games against West Ham United, Crystal Palace and RB Leipzig.

The Gunners also face Bournemouth, Manchester United and Liverpool in the States.
