Hein, however, signed a new contract in June and proved the penalty shootout hero as Arteta’s side got their pre-season tour of the United States off to a winning start.
The Estonia international saved two penalties in Carson, California after a 1-1 draw between the two Premier League sides.
Arsenal have signed two goalkeepers this summer in Lucas Nygaard and Tommy Setford and have David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale due back closer to the start of the season after their Euro 2024 campaigns.
“That’s a conversation that we are having at the moment,” said Arteta when asked about Hein’s future
“Obviously, David and Aaron are away at the moment and we’re really short in the position.
“We want to develop our players, especially a player like Karl with a big potential and a big future ahead of him. He needs to play games, so we’re going to explore that option as well.”
