Both Arsenal and Liverpool could be in the transfer market in search of a backup goalkeeper this summer.
The Gunners are currently unsure about the future of Aaron Ramsdale, who could opt for a new challenge elsewhere, after having lost his starting position to David Raya. Raya joined the club on loan from Brentford last summer with a buy-out clause that will be activated soon.
Liverpool could face a similar situation with Caiomhin Kelleher likely to seek regular game time in the prime of his career. The 25-year-old has played as Alisson's understudy over the years but has hinted that he wants to become the permanent number one in the future.
