West Ham United are reportedly considering a summer transfer move for Arsenal’s out-of-favour ‘keeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Hammers ready to move for keeper
This potential transfer sparks debate, prompting questions about whether it would address a genuine need or be a risky gamble for the Hammers.
Lukasz Fabianski at 38 years old is set to be replaced and according to journalist Ben Jacobs, Ramsdale is in the frame.
The arrival of David Raya at Arsenal has relegated Ramsdale to the backup role. Despite initial plans for rotation, Raya has emerged as Mikel Arteta’s preferred choice between the sticks. This has fueled speculation about Ramsdale’s future, with the England international potentially seeking a club where he can secure regular playing time and revive his career.
Hammers ready to move for keeper Ramsdale, who at 25 years old, possesses significant potential and could be groomed to become the undisputed number one at West Ham .
Despite his limited playing time at Arsenal, Ramsdale has demonstrated his talent and capabilities in the
Premier League. His shot-stopping abilities, distribution skills, and presence in the box are valuable assets for any team.
Immediate Need: While Fabianski’s age necessitates a long-term plan, West Ham might not be desperate for a new goalkeeper right now. The Irons have a number of young goalkeepers showing promise at Academy level.
Arsenal are unlikely to let go of a talented young goalkeeper like Ramsdale for a low price. West Ham would need to be prepared to make a significant financial investment.
Several other clubs are reportedly interested in Ramsdale, including those with a more pressing need for a starting goalkeeper. This increased competition could drive up the transfer fee and make it more difficult for
West Ham to secure his signature.
I just ask why?
We have a great goalkeeper in Alphonse Areola who is only thirty one so why do we need another goalkeeper to replace him like Ramsay,who in my opinion is inferior to Areola?
