Arsenal have been dealt a major blow in their pursuit of Andre Onana, with the Ajax goalkeeper having reportedly agreed to join Lyon.
The Gunners were heavily linked with Onana earlier in the summer but L'Equipe state that he is set to head to Lyon instead.
Onana is poised to join Lyon for a fee of just £6.8million.
Although the 25-year-old is currently serving a suspension for a doping violation he is still very highly regarded. His ban is set to end on November 4.
Bernd Leno remains Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper, and, with a move for Onana now appearing unlikely, manager Mikel Arteta will have to look elsewhere for another shot-stopper.
Sheffield United's Aaron Ramsdale is seemingly Arsenal's main target amid suggestions that they will make a bid of £30million for the 23-year-old.
Arsenal have made three major signings so far this summer, with the most significant deal seeing defender Ben White arrive from Brighton for £50million.
Midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga and left-back Nuno Tavares have also joined.

He's really a good goalkeeper. I'm surprised how big clubs didn't buy him two years ago

Arsenal needs a No 1 goalkeeper, not someone who will start playing in November which we not really sure though

There’s nothing blowing here. Arsenal has since forgotten the idea of buying him. Please always cross check your facts before publishing.

Arsenal never wanted to sign Onana in the first place, it seems their focus is on homegrown players no matter their fee. Ben White, Madison, Ramsdale, all on a high rate
may be overmars want Joe Hart

Arteta could try to loan the great Joe Hart for 2-3 yrs,,, May be Arteta could get him for free, just pay him for £400-500/weeks is enough.. So the great man Mr Kroenke surely will be happy with this great policy...

Its funny how some folks dont do proper research about an article, only to come online to pour out their frustrations on a manager who's got no idea or comment about what is going on..

Lol, media is so fuckd up and so SHITASTROPHIC nowadays! Arsenal never even for once tabled a bid for Onana,.. I guess the media were trying very hard to sign him for us with their fake "tabloidstic tablorassa"! 😂😂😂

I don't think arsenal is short of 6m
you guys are right, we might need a backup and he won't be able to play

every arsenal link is a lie...pls xhaka link for example

Yes bro they considered so many things before bidding for that guy, remember he will start playing in November what if we need a back then before he came to play
this is the short sightedness from arsenal im talking about, we have runnarsson who can be a backup till onana starts playing..and afcon is the issue, the competition isnt for the whole season, we still have Leno and runnarsson

We didn’t bid for him
why didnt Arsenal even bid for this guy..could it be because of Afcon??? why is arsenal soo short sighted

Arsenal was never serious about the deal i hope they aren't about Ramsdale either, with goal keepers you cant 2 exceptional keepers happy at one club they both always want to start, Im sure we can find a decent keeper that would prove good back up for Leno.
