Ajax have now emerged as the leading candidate to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale with the stopper seeking regular football in a top squad – and he could be the first of two high-profile departures at Emirates Stadium this week.
Ramsdale has been consistently linked with an exit from north London since he was displaced as the clear No 1 at the club by David Raya.
After seeing his chances to take the gloves evaporate after Raya was loaned in, Ramsdale has also not enjoyed any minutes through Arsenal’s pre-season friendlies at home – and it now seems abundantly clear that his future lies elsewhere.
David Ornstein reports that Arsenal have recently turned down a loan approach for Ramsdale from Ajax but the Dutch club are said to remain optimistic about getting a deal done in the current window.
