It doesn't feel like long since Aaron Ramsdale exploded into the Arsenal squad and quickly overthrew Bernd Leno at the Emirates Stadium.
Yet after just two seasons, the Gunners are considering a move that presents the England international a challenge just as big as the one that he offered Leno in 2021.
Arsenal went into the summer transfer window knowing they needed to strengthen multiple areas of the squad, after missing out on the Premier League title to Manchester City last season.
They have made their intentions clear by spending just over £200m for Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber - improving Mikel Arteta's options in defence and midfield.
