Aaron Ramsdale of Arsenal is reportedly Newcastle United’s target during the summer transfer window. In recent days, there have been rumors circulating that Newcastle United is interested in signing Aaron Ramsdale, the goalkeeper for Arsenal, during the forthcoming summer transfer window.
Here’s what Thomas Frank told Aaron Ramsdale following Arsenal’s comeback over Brentford.arsenal
Ramsdale has been benched by manager Mikel Arteta, therefore his future at the Emirates Stadium is questionable. The 25-year-old English goalkeeper is reportedly open to the idea of joining Newcastle at St. James’ Park, according to sources.
Ramsdale may have to depart Arsenal at the end of the 2023–2024 season, having spent over three years with the team. For a reported £30 million, he left Sheffield United to join Arsenal in the summer of 2021.
Ramsdale was originally signed with Arteta as their first-choice goalkeeper, with an option for one more year and a contract extension through 2026. Nevertheless, Ramsdale was reduced to a supporting role and has only been allowed to play in cup competitions and the Champions League group stage since Arsenal signed David Raya on loan from Brentford.
Newcastle, under the direction of manager Eddie Howe, needs superior goalkeeping reinforcements. Before AFC Bournemouth was relegated from the Premier League in 2020, Howe had already collaborated with Ramsdale.

Ramsdale obviously wants to stay in the Premier League, even though it is unclear if he will be involved in the summer transfer window because of his anticipated involvement with England in EURO 2024. A choice on his future could be made following the tournament’s conclusion.
Regarding Ramsdale’s predicament, Dharmesh Sheth, a Sky Sports analyst, said that it will be imperative for his career to leave Arsenal in the summer and get consistent playing time if he wishes to continue representing England.
Even though Nick Pope is Newcastle’s starting goalkeeper right now, Ramsdale might end up being the best stopper at St James’ Park because Pope’s job is not as stable as it might seem.
Ramsdale’s high valuation presents Newcastle with its biggest challenge in this possible acquisition. It was claimed last year that Arsenal was requesting £50 million to replace its backup goalie.
The Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules have placed financial restrictions on Arsenal and Ramsdale, but it looks that both parties are amenable to transfer talks this summer.
