Newcastle United Eyeing £30m Arsenal Outcast for Summer Transfer
Newcastle United is reportedly eyeing a £30m transfer move for Arsenal outcast Aaron Ramsdale in the upcoming summer window. The Magpies are looking to bolster their goalkeeping options, with Ramsdale being a top target for Eddie Howe’s side.
Ramsdale, who lost his spot in the Arsenal XI to David Raya, is eager for more playing time after falling down the pecking order at the Emirates. The 25-year-old goalkeeper has a strong relationship with Howe from their time together at AFC Bournemouth, making him a desirable target for Newcastle.
Despite an unsuccessful attempt to sign Ramsdale in January, Newcastle is determined to secure his services this summer. The Daily Mail reported that Ramsdale is considering his options and is likely to leave Arsenal at the end of the season.
With Martin Dubravka struggling to impress as a backup goalkeeper, Newcastle sees Ramsdale as a long-term solution between the posts. The England international’s age and potential make him an attractive prospect for the Magpies, especially with their current goalkeepers being significantly older.
Arsenal, on the other hand, is already scouting for replacements for Ramsdale, indicating that his departure from the club is imminent. Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman believes Ramsdale is too talented to be a second choice and may need to leave the Emirates to further his career.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on whether Newcastle can secure the signing of Aaron Ramsdale and provide him with the opportunity to reignite his career at St James’ Park.
