Arsenal are reportedly interested in League One goalkeeper Sam Tickle from Wigan Athletic, despite facing competition for his signature.

Team Talk reports that while current head coach Mikel Arteta has David Raya as his number one, future second-choice could be fiercely competitive as Aneto, on loan from Bournemouth, ยูฟ่าเบท has a one-year contract. 

In addition, Karl Hain, a talented young goalkeeper, is currently on loan at Real Valladolid for the entire 2024-25 season, with the goal of finding a way to become the No. 1 on a full-time contract. 

For this reason, the Gunners want Tickle to be an option to back up Raya because the young England U-21 international is only 22 years old. 

Overall, the team has a clean sheet in 7 of their 11 games this season, conceding 6 goals in total. The current contract runs until June 2028. The estimated price is no more than 5 million pounds. 

The main obstacle is that Manchester United are also eyeing the English goalkeeper , and if he chooses to go to Old Trafford, he will be close to home.
