The England international goalkeeper is a target for Gary O’Neil with the Wolves boss is hoping to strike an initial season-long loan deal. Ramsdale, who joined the Gunners from Sheffield United for £24million three years ago, has fallen behind David Raya in the pecking order at the Emirates and is eager for more game-time.

Villa keeper Martinez, who has seen his own career soar since leaving Arsenal in 2020, thinks a switch to Molineux might work well for the 26-year-old.

“I think it’s a different position (to the one I was in),” said Martinez. “He signed for £24m, he was the No.1 for Arsenal, I never had a chance like that. When you play every game in the Premier League and then you drop to the bench, with the quality that Aaron has, I think he should find a place to play where he feels loved.

“I heard he might go to Wolves, which I think could be a good move for him. He is a player that England needs in their goalkeeping area. He has a great future.”
