Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly walked away from a deal for Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The 26-year-old is seeking an exit from the Emirates this summer in order to feature regularly in club football during the 2024-25 campaign.
Ramsdale has fallen behind David Raya in the shot-stopping pecking order at Arsenal since the Spaniard's arrival from Brentford on loan last summer.
Twelve months later and the former Bee has made the switch to North London permanent for £27m, leaving the Englishman firmly as second choice for Mikel Arteta.
After being uprooted in net near the start of last campaign, Ramsdale managed just six appearances in the top flight for the Premier League title challengers.
Wolves 'walk away' from Ramsdale deal
According to BBC Sport, Arsenal's Ramsdale will not be switching the capital for the West Midlands during the closing stages of the summer window.
The report claims that a deal for the England international is too expensive for Wolves, who are operating under strict financial guidelines.
It is understood that the Black Country side and Arsenal were in talks last week over a loan deal with a £20m obligation to buy for Ramsdale.
Discussions stopped over the weekend with Wolves realising that an agreement would be impossible financially, meaning that a recommencement of talks is not expected before Friday's deadline.
As a result, it could be the case that Ramsdale finds himself on the Gunners' bench when Brighton & Hove Albion visit the Emirates on Saturday lunchtime.
Wolves sales and other suitors
It is believed that Wolves are unable to complete a deal for Arsenal's Ramsdale due to finances, despite the Midlands side selling some high-profile players this summer.
Attacking talisman Pedro Neto moved to Premier League heavyweights Chelsea for over £50m, while Max Kilman completed a transfer to West Ham United.
With Arsenal supposedly demanding a £6m loan fee for the services of Ramsdale, it remains to be seen whether there are any English suitors before Friday's deadline.
Bournemouth were previously linked with a swoop for the Englishman, however it is now understood that the Cherries are close to the temporary acquisition of Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea.
