Arsenal have seen their opening bid for Wolves goalkeeper Daniel Bentley rejected and it has just come to light how much they offered, according to a recent report.

The North Londoners are closing in on a deal to sign Italy and Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori and are now keen to add a goalkeeper to their ranks.

Wolves' backup shot-stopper Daniel Bentley has been identified as a target having had him on their books as a youngster.

TBR reported that Arsenal submitted an opening bid that got rejected on Wednesday morning and it has now been revealed the staggering amount they offered.

The West Midlanders have promptly rejected their offer and it remains to be seen if Gunners chiefs return with an improved second bid.

Wolves are open to sanctioning his sale but only if the money can be reinvested into the squad, so it has to be a deal worthwhile.

Bentley has one year remaining on his deal at Molineux and it seems he is valued at north of PS1m - a figure Arsenal are clearly reluctant to outlay.

The 30-year-old would likely join as third-choice behind David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale.
