Arsenal have long been linked with Ajax keeper Andre Onana but as per Goal, the Premier League side are yet to make a concrete move.
The report claims: “Arsenal have held discussions with Onana’s representatives, but have yet to decide whether they will step up their pursuit of the keeper.
“The situation is complicated by the uncertainty over Bernd Leno. Arsenal’s current No.1 is open to a move away but is in no rush to decide his future due to his involvement with Germany at Euro 2020.
“That could cause an issue because although Onana is keen on a move to Arsenal, he wants to join a club where he would be first choice and that would not be certain should Leno still be around.”
Will Arsenal make a move for Andre Onana?
The 25-year-old recently saw his ban reduced which was an immediate sign that Arsenal will make a move to sign him. But it seems like Mikel Arteta is having second thoughts.
The report claims that since his ban has been reduced a lot of other clubs have shown suddenly an interest in him and maybe this is a big reason why the Gunners are treading carefully.

Also, Arsenal have a proper keeper in the form of Bernd Leno and until they can sort out his future we don’t think they will make any formal bids for Andre Onana.
The Cameroonian will want to be the first-choice keeper at whichever club he plays for next season and if Leno is staying at Arsenal, Onana will face a really steep challenge.
Arsenal have the financial power to bring Andre Onana on board without much hassle but before they make a move, Mikel Arteta will need to sit down and sort out the future of Bernd Leno.
