Arsenal are taking moves to prepare for Aaron Ramsdale’s departure this summer, which may be excellent news for Newcastle United.
During the January transfer window, the Magpies were extensively associated with Aaron Ramsdale, and it appeared that the club would dive into the market to sign a replacement for the injured Nick Pope.
That did not happen, as Eddie Howe put his trust in Martin Dubravka.
However, whispers about a transfer for Ramsdale persist, and it has been said that Newcastle are the most probable team to sign the England international.
A departure from the Emirates Stadium appears highly likely, with David Raya still Mikel Arteta’s first-choice custodian.
He appears to be heading to Arsenal on a permanent basis, which might spell the end for Ramsdale. And a recent story says that the Gunners are preparing for his exit.
Arsenal seeks Aaron Ramsdale’s replacement
According to the Telegraph, Arsenal are trying to sign Patrick Schulte from Columbus Crew this summer, if Ramsdale left.
According to the Telegraph, Arsenal is exploring the market for goalkeepers in anticipation of Ramsdale leaving the club three years after signing for £24 million.
It was surprising to see him lose his place in the starting XI, and a move away now appears probable. It is exactly what he needs, as he cannot afford to spend his days on the bench at the age of 25, especially given his England ambitions.
And with Ramsdale set to be available, you can expect whispers about a move to Newcastle United to continue. He had previously been a target, and he knows Eddie Howe from their time together at Bournemouth.
It has recently been reported that the Magpies are looking to sign a custodian this summer, but whether or not it leads to an offer for Ramsdale remains to be seen. Given his impending availability, he could be a viable alternative.
