Aaron Ramsdale has been linked with a move away from Arsenal in recent weeks, with the Gunners demanding £50 million for him.
Aaron Ramsdale has dropped down the pecking order since the arrival of David Raya, and he needs to leave Arsenal to play regularly. A report from Football Transfers claims that the Gunners have now set a £50 million asking price for the goalkeeper.
Aaron Ramsdale has proven himself to be a quality Premier League performer, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up in the coming months. It will remains to be seen if his suitors are willing to pay £50 million for him.
Ramsdale was a key player for Arsenal last season, and he helped them challenge for the Premier League title. There is no doubt that he could be a key player for most clubs in the league. The Englishman is a target for high-profile clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle United.
However, the £50 million asking price might be quite steep, and Arsenal will probably have to be more reasonable with their demands. The 25-year-old will be disappointed with the lack of game time this season and will want to get his career back on track.
It remains to be seen whether he can force his way into the starting lineup in the coming weeks. Raya appears to be the preferred choice for manager Mikel Arteta, and Ramsdale will have to perform at a high level in training in order to convince the manager.
Meanwhile, the goalkeeper has been linked with Chelsea in recent weeks, and it remains to be seen whether the Blues decide to make a move for him in the near future. Chelsea signed Robert Sanchez as their first-choice goalkeeper in the summer.
But the former Brighton & Hove Albion shot-stopper has not managed to make a huge impression at the West London club. It seems that the Blues could be open to replacing him as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. Ramsdale could prove to be a quality acquisition for them.
He knows the Premier League well and could make an immediate impact at Stamford Bridge. The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in England will be an attractive proposition for the English goalkeeper as well. In addition to that, Chelsea have the financial resources to pay the reported £50 million asking price as well.
