Gunners Plot Surprise Bentley Move
Arsenal have expressed interest in Wolves’ second-choice goalkeeper, Dan Bentley. Bentley, 30, joined Wolves from Bristol City in January 2023 and has made five Premier League appearances. The Gunners have already made David Raya’s move permanent after a successful loan spell, but The Athletic reports that Bentley is also a target.
