West Ham could be in the mix for a surprise transfer this summer, with former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman suggesting Aaron Ramsdale might be open to a move across London.
Ramsdale, a highly-rated 26-year-old with four England caps, has found himself playing second fiddle to David Raya at Arsenal this season. This lack of playing time has sparked speculation about his future.
Seaman, a legendary Arsenal goalkeeper himself, believes a move away from the Emirates could be beneficial for Ramsdale’s development. He highlighted the importance of regular first-team action for a young goalkeeper.
Seaman mentioned West Ham as a possible destination for Ramsdale, alongside Chelsea. This comes amidst some uncertainty surrounding Alphonse Areola, West Ham’s current first-choice goalkeeper. While Areola has performed well this season, his future at the club remains unclear.
West Ham fans will be interested to see how this situation develops. Seaman’s comments suggest that Ramsdale, a talented young goalkeeper, could be on the market. The Hammers will need to weigh his potential against Areola’s performances and decide if a move for Ramsdale makes sense for their long-term goals.
Good keeper but could easily see him going closer to his home, somewhere back up north.
Areola is an excellent keeper. No need to make a move for Ramsdale. Please board do not get distracted by who might be “available” and focus on who we need!
Much better keeper than Flipper….all day long signing…would be up with Parkes and Ludo.
Bring it on…Flipper is only here for the £££££
Behave ffs parkes and ludo different class .
Ramsdale is a excellent keeper he is on the same level as areola so I think he would be a great signing for the club I have seen him play many times and he rarely puts a foot wrong
I gonna disagree with that.
If Ramsdale was that good, Arse would not have replaced him with Raya,
Areola in his first season as starter, yet West Ham concede their highest ever number of goals in a Prem. season.
Statwise, according to Premier League site:
https://www.premierleague.com/players/5748/Alphonse-Areola/stats?co=1&se=578
In 30 prem games, conceded 50 goals, 1 OG, 4 clean sheets, 129 saves (2 pens) Zero errors for goals.
This ain’t happening. We already have one of the best goalkeepers in the premier league . In areola. I’m pretty sure he’s better than Raya . let alone ramsdale .
In essence , if Westham buy Ramsdale they have to buy two keepers because Areola would definitely leave . Westham can’t afford two keepers plus another 6 to 10 players because of FFP . Keep Areola and extend Fabianski for another season as number 2 is the cheap and necessary option .
No point in buying Ramsdale as our number 2. Areola will not stay if Ramsdale is our number 1.
