Not so much a link as a theory with some chat that Arsenal have been tracking him. A more sensible option that Neto, more suited to what the club apparently wants with Leno left relatively safe from a genuine contest for #1 choice, but still a #2 GK who can play EL ties without causing a costly exit.

A very reliable local journalist for Newcastle reported interest back in March:

I think in terms of back up I'd either want a youngish keeper around this age range or a veteran.

Both sorts will be happy will cup games / minimal league starts, at least in the short term when it comes to someone like Woodman. Keepers around 30 or so are generally going to want to come here as a number 1, like the Barca keeper.

I've seem Woodman play a bit, promising keeper. Factor in the HG status and he'd not be on massive wages, I'd be very happy with this.

If only we hadn't bought the puffin :facepalm:

That article states this kid's dad works as head of youth goalkeeping for Arsenal. Bit of nepotism here, do we have no scouts or a recruitment structure anymore.

World Cup winner Freddie Woodman :rofl:

Be surprised if they recalled him now. He’s doing well at Swansea and they’re in the mix for promotion.

All depends if there’s a clause.

Lool I said the other day when Martinez was sold edu asked the people at the club if they know a keeper. And we have done it again. Problem with having no scouting department is you have to rely on people working for you if they know anyone
