Arsenal are reportedly showing significant interest in securing the services of highly-rated young goalkeeper, Liam Carter, from Championship side, Birmingham City. Sources close to the club suggest that Mikel Arteta views Carter as a long-term solution in the Gunners' goalkeeping department.
Carter, 22, has been a standout performer for Birmingham City this season, showcasing impressive reflexes and command of his area. He’s consistently been ranked among the league’s top keepers and has attracted attention from several Premier League clubs.
While Bernd Leno has performed admirably when fit, Arsenal are keen to add more competition to their squad and believe Carter’s potential aligns perfectly with their ambitious plans. Rumours are swirling about a potential bid of £15 million, although Birmingham City are reportedly holding out for a higher figure.
Update: July 27, 2024 - Negotiations between the two clubs are reportedly ongoing, with Arsenal’s head of recruitment, Josh Bramham, leading the discussions. Early reports suggest a proposed deal is close to being finalised, with a medical appointment scheduled for next week.
