Chelsea are interested in signing Arsenal player who’s played just once this year
Chelsea have a ‘level of interest’ in signing Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale in the summer.
The Englishman is a fine goalkeeper, but he has fallen down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta. He is expected to leave Arsenal this summer, and Chelsea are interested in signing him.
Chelsea have an interest in Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale
Aaron Ramsdale was one of Arsenal’s best players in each of his first two seasons at the club.
The 25-year-old is a magnificent goalkeeper. He is good enough to start for most clubs in the country, but Mikel Arteta has preferred David Raya at Arsenal, and that decision has been justified in recent weeks.
As a result, Ramsdale has only played once since the turn of the year, and that was against Liverpool in the FA Cup back in January.
The Englishman will start against Brentford this evening in what could be his last-ever game for Arsenal.
Ramsdale is expected to leave this summer, and Dean Jones has claimed that Chelsea and Newcastle United both have a ‘level of interest’ in him.
The journalist told : “I think basic logic tells you that Ramsdale cannot continue to just sit on the bench watching Arsenal week in week out. He’s basically got a season ticket at the moment.
“That’s not really where he needs to be at this moment in his career. He’s been very professional this season and credit to him for remaining so patient when others would not have.
“He will definitely have offers to leave. I think we will see rumours around that build in May and as we head into the Euros. I know Newcastle and Chelsea both have a level of interest.
“I’d be very surprised if Ramsdale did not end up leaving Arsenal in the summer.”
Ramsdale would be an upgrade at Chelsea
Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic are Chelsea’s first and second-choice goalkeepers at the moment, and they’ve both done a decent job.
However, neither is quite on the level of Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale.
The Englishman was arguably the best goalkeeper in the entire Premier League last season. He made it into the Team of the Season too and was one of the biggest reasons why Arsenal came so close to winning the title.
If Chelsea do end up signing Ramsdale, we feel he would be a huge upgrade on both Sanchez and Petrovic. However, whether the Blues will pay whatever Arsenal demand remains to be seen.
