The status of Arsenal’s current back up goalkeepers remains unclear.

Colombia international David Ospina could seek a move ahead of the 2018 World Cup, while Wojciech Szczesny is expected to sign in Italy where he has spent the last two seasons on loan in Serie A.

Emiliano Martinez has proved a capable and able stand in, but Green would offer a veteran presence.

Green signed with Leeds as a free agent last summer after leaving QPR and displaced Marco Silvestri to become Frist choice.

Yet the 37-year-old faces questions over his role next year.

Monk quit the club in May and new manager Thomas Christiansen has just signed Werder Bremen goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald.

Green is in the twilight of his career and could be tempted by one last shot playing for a Premier League side.
