Arsenal will not sanction the sale of their 25-year-old shot-stopper Aaron Ramsdale in January despite interest from elsewhere.
According to a report by Football Insider, Aaron Ramsdale has been linked with a move away from Arsenal. The 25-year-old is no longer a guaranteed starter and he is seriously considering his future. However, the Gunners have no intentions of selling him in the winter transfer window.
Ramsdale joined Arsenal back in the summer of 2021. He went from strength to strength and became one of the mainstays of the club. The 25-year-old played a huge part in their league title challenge last season. He featured in 46 matches during last season and kept a total of 15 clean sheets.
He was expected to continue in goal but then Mikel Arteta’s team decided to sign David Raya from Brentford. The Spanish international has joined them on an initial loan deal but there is an option to buy. Raya’s arrival has changed the dynamics and Ramsdale has fallen down the pecking order.
The England international started the first four games of the season but he hasn’t featured in each of their last eight games in the league and Europe. As a result, the 25-year-old who is under contract until 2026 has been linked with a move away from the club.
Ramsdale is worried about his chances of making it into the England squad for the Euro 2024 in Germany and along with it, he feels he is at an important stage in his career and needs regular first-team football. Meanwhile, there is interest from Chelsea in his services.
The Blues might have signed Robert Sanchez in the summer but they are still on the lookout for another goalkeeper. They are interested in the England international and would love to have his services in the winter window.
But, the Gunners have no intentions of parting ways with the 25-year-old in January. Arsenal are well aware of the situation and the growing issue around the goalkeeping position. But, they do not want to sell Ramsdale mid-way through the season.
