Aaron Ramsdale: Chelsea plotting raid for Arsenal 25-yr-old who wants to leave
Chelsea could move again for Arsenal shot-stopper Aaron Ramsdale in the summer transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
It is believed Blues transfer chiefs see the 25-year-old as a good option despite his demotion to second-choice at the Emirates Stadium this season.
Sources told Football Insider on Monday (26 February) that Ramsdale is keen to leave Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
Mauricio Pochettino is keen to improve his goalkeeping department this summer despite signing two new shot-stoppers just last year (2023).
Football Insider revealed last week (21 February) that Chelsea are planning to sign a new number-one shot-stopper after failing to do so in January.
