I FUCKING BROKE THIS STORY. I AM ITK!

Talks are ongoing with various clubs for Setford, but Stevenage are currently the front-runners. Their current first-choice goalkeeper is in talks to join Millwall, so there's a potential opening for Setford to step in.

The report also points out that Las Palmas had previously shown an interest in Setford, but those negotiations stalled.

When Meslier was signed, the suggestion was that his arrival was to facilitate a loan move for Setford. The young goalkeeper worked hard alongside Raya and Kepa in training last year, but his opportunities on the pitch were slim to non-existent.

The youngster came on as a substitute for Arsenal against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup, playing the final few minutes of the 4-0 win. Other than that, his appearances were limited for a handful of u21 showings for Arsenal and England.

The goalkeeper was signed for his potential, but he's unlikely to achieve it if he can't get out on the pitch and test himself. Hence Arsenal's push to get him a good loan move.

It looks like Stevenage are hoping to be the club to give Setford a proper opportunity in senior football this season.
