Arsenal are interested in signing Aston Villa goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar in the summer transfer window.

The Netherlands international, 24, joined Villa in June on a three-year deal in a free transfer from FC Twente.

Villa fought off interest from several Women's Super League (WSL) clubs, including Arsenal, who it is understood also wanted to sign her in January.

Van Domselaar, who has started 14 of Villa's 15 WSL games this season, has a release clause of about £200,000.

She impressed at Euro 2022 and was part of the Netherlands squad for last summer's Women's World Cup.

Villa bought her as a replacement for former number one Hannah Hampton following her free transfer to Chelsea in July.

They lost midfielder Laura Blindkilde Brown, 20, to Manchester City on deadline day in January after they paid the £200,000 release clause in her contract.
