Southampton are reportedly keen on signing 26-year-old Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Sky Sports, Southampton are interested in signing Aaron Ramsdale in the summer transfer window. The Saints have now held talks with Arsenal to sign the disgruntled 26-year-old goalkeeper.
Southampton are hoping to sign the player on loan, and it could be the ideal move for the 26-year-old English goalkeeper. The Englishman needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and he cannot afford to sit on the bench at Arsenal. Wolves are keen on signing him as well, and the player has already been informed by Arsenal that he is free to leave for the right price.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal are prepared to send him out on loan. The report from Sky Sports claims that Arsenal want to sell him permanently. The only way they will sanction a loan move is if there is an obligation to buy the player at the end of the season.
Southampton could use a quality goalkeeper, and Ramsdale has certainly proven himself in the Premier League. He was an important player for Arsenal before the arrival of David Raya. The Spanish goalkeeper is now the first-choice shot-stopper at Arsenal, and Ramsdale needs to move on for the benefit of his own career.
Ramsdale would be a quality addition
The 26-year-old is a reliable performer, and he could improve most teams in the division. He will be looking to get his career back on track with regular football, and a move to Southampton or Wolves would be ideal.
Even though the player will probably want to complete at a higher level, joining the newly-promoted Premier League outfit on loan this summer could be his best option for now. The Englishman needs to focus on playing regularly once again, and he might be able to secure a big move next summer if he manages to impress.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will look to get his wages off their books and recoup some money from his departure so that they can improve their playing squad. The Gunners will be pushing for the Premier League title this season, and they need better players in order to compete with Manchester City.
