Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale appears set to bid farewell to the club, with Newcastle United reportedly securing a deal for the goalkeeper’s services in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Ramsdale, who joined Arsenal from Sheffield United in 2021 for £24 million, seemed to establish himself as the club’s top goalkeeper, amassing 78 appearances over two seasons.
However, the loan arrival of David Raya from Brentford prompted speculation about Ramsdale’s future at the Emirates Stadium.
Under Mikel Arteta’s management this season, Ramsdale has seen limited Premier League action, featuring in just six games.
With Raya potentially joining Arsenal permanently in the summer, reports indicate that the Gunners are open to offers for Ramsdale, who still has two years remaining on his contract.
While Chelsea has shown long-term interest in Ramsdale, it is Newcastle United that has emerged as the frontrunner for his signature.
According to Sky Sports’ James Green, Ramsdale has agreed to a move to St James’ Park.
The news of Ramsdale’s impending departure has stirred mixed reactions among Arsenal fans.
David Seaman, a former Arsenal goalkeeper, believes that Ramsdale’s departure may be necessary for his career progression suggesting that clubs like Chelsea and West Ham could offer Ramsdale opportunities for regular first-team action.
