Hey folks! Guess what? Arsenal might actually sell goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale next summer! Can you believe it? According to sources, the Gunners are considering parting ways with the 25-year-old shot-stopper in 2024. But here’s the twist: they plan to bring in a new number two goalkeeper. Ramsdale hasn’t been too thrilled with being the backup to David Raya, so he’s looking to move on and find regular first-team action elsewhere.
But hold on a second! Just last week, Football Insider dropped a bombshell. They revealed that Arsenal is not willing to let Ramsdale go in the January transfer window. Apparently, the lad wants to play regularly not only to secure his spot in the England squad for Euro 2024 but also to keep his career on track. Can’t blame him, can we?
Now, if Arsenal does decide to sell Ramsdale, it would be quite a surprise. Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal boss, was pretty clear about wanting two top-notch goalkeepers in his squad when Raya joined. But guess what? Raya has been dominating the teamsheet lately, playing in nine consecutive Premier League and Champions League matches. Ramsdale, on the other hand, has only made one appearance in the League Cup win over Brentford. Tough luck, mate!
By the way, did you know that Arsenal paid £3 million to sign Raya on a season-long loan? And if they want to make the deal permanent, they’ll have to cough up another £27 million to Thomas Frank’s side. That’s a hefty price tag!
Oh, and here’s some juicy gossip for you. Rumor has it that Chelsea is interested in Ramsdale. Can you imagine him playing for the Blues? He had a great season last year, keeping 15 clean sheets in 41 games across all competitions. But now, Arteta seems to have other plans for the goalkeeping position.
In other news, there’s a big update on Arsenal’s potential signing of a midfield star in January. Stay tuned for more updates, folks!
