Chelsea is reportedly eyeing a surprising transfer move for Arsenal’s goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

The 25-year-old England international keeper played a crucial role for the Gunners last season.

Still, he now faces competition from David Raya, who arrived on loan from Brentford.

Despite starting as the first choice, Ramsdale has seen Raya become Arsenal’s preferred option between the sticks.

Chelsea hopes to take advantage of this situation and sign the former Bournemouth ace, with the ambition of upgrading their goalkeeping options.

The move could be challenging, considering Arteta’s reluctance to sell to a rival and his potential plans to restore Ramsdale as the starting goalkeeper.

Meanwhile, Chelsea could face competition from Bayern Munich in their pursuit of Ramsdale, who is under contract until 2026.

For Ramsdale, consistent playing time is crucial to secure a place in the England squad for Euro 2024 and challenge Jordan Pickford, making a transfer decision even more pivotal.

Chelsea’s interest in Ramsdale was initially reported in September, with the club eager to address their goalkeeping issues, including the recent addition of Roberto Sanchez from Brighton.
