Newly promoted La Liga side Levante are interested in signing Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein on loan, according to the Athletic.
Despite the interest from Julian Calero's side, the Gunners are said to prefer a permanent transfer for the Estonia international and value him between £3million and £5m.
A fee of that amount would be too high for Levante's 'strict' budget, but with multiple clubs interested in securing Hein's services, Arsenal should have a few options if they are to sanction a sale.
Levante among clubs interested in signing Karl Hein
Having joined Arsenal from Nõmme United in 2018, Hein has picked up plenty of experience since first moving to north London.
He made his debut for the Gunners' first team in a 3-1 defeat to Brighton in the third round of the 2022/23 League Cup and has had two loan spells away from the club.
Hein spent the second-half of the 2021/22 campaign with then-Championship side Reading and joined Real Valladolid for the entirety of last season, playing 31 league games as they were relegated from La Liga.
This summer seems to be the end of Hein's time at Arsenal. He was excluded from the matchday squad in the opening day win over Manchester United and appears to have fallen below Kepa Arrizabalaga and Tommy Setford in the goalkeeper pecking order.
However, with Levante potentially unable to meet the Gunners' valuation, the club may struggle to ship him off before the transfer window closes. The Spanish side are not the only team interested in signing the Estonian though, with Rangers, Werder Bremen and Rizespor all reported to be exploring him as a potential option between the sticks.
Regardless of where Hein ends up, Arsenal should really be looking to sanction a sale in the final weeks of the window. His contract is set to expire next year so the Gunners must sell him this summer if they are to avoid losing yet another player for nothing. A loan move would effectively be pointless so Andrea Berta and co may have to tell Levante to pay a fee or Hein's services will be offered to other suitors.
