According to talkSPORT, Arsenal are considering loaning out star goalkeeper Ramsdale to another club in order to deal with the transfer woes he is currently facing. Last season, Ramsdale's starting goalkeeper position was replaced by new signing Raya, which made him doubtful about his prospects of staying at Arsenal and expressed his desire to leave this summer.
Although Ramsdale completed a contract extension with Arsenal last May, the club then brought in Raya in the summer transfer window, a move that made Ramsdale's position in the team awkward. In addition, Ramsdale's high salary and Arsenal's high asking price for him have also become a huge obstacle in the transfer market. According to reports, Ramsdale's weekly wage is well over £100,000, while Arsenal's asking price is as high as £35 million, which has deterred many potential buyers.
Early in the transfer market, Ramsdale was rumored to be linked with clubs such as Newcastle and Southampton, but as of now, he is not close to joining any team. This situation has led Arsenal to consider sending Ramsdale out on loan to other clubs so that he can continue to maintain his match fitness and pursue transfer opportunities.
For Ramsdale, going out on loan might be a wise choice. This will not only allow him to avoid the embarrassing situation at Arsenal, but also allow him to show his strengths in other clubs and seek better transfer opportunities. At the same time, it will also save Arsenal some of their salary expenses and make room for the team to bring in new recruits in the transfer market.
However, going out on loan also means that Ramsdale will need to adapt to a new environment and tactical system, which will be quite a challenge for him. However, as an experienced goalkeeper, Ramsdale should be capable of adapting and integrating into his new team quickly.
