Journalist Dean Jones has claimed that Chelsea have an interest in signing one player from Arsenal when the transfer window opens again.

He told GiveMeSport that the Blues are considering bringing in Aaron Ramsdale at the end of the season after he has fallen out of favour at the Emirates.

Ramsdale’s regular place between the sticks has been taken by David Raya, after he joined the Gunners last summer despite interest from Stamford Bridge.

The Spaniard wasn’t at his best when he played in West London earlier this season though. He was beaten by a cross-cum-shot from Mykhailo Mudryk in what turned out to be a 2-2 draw.

Ramsdale has attracted interest from a number of sides in the Premier League in particular, and Jones has claimed that Chelsea are one of these.

Chelsea interested in Ramsdale

He said: “I think basic logic tells you that Ramsdale cannot continue to just sit on the bench watching Arsenal week in week out. He’s basically got a season ticket at the moment. That’s not really where he needs to be at this moment in his career.

“He’s been very professional this season and credit to him for remaining so patient when others would not have. He will definitely have offers to leave. I think we will see rumours around that build in May and as we head into the Euros.

“I know Newcastle and Chelsea both have a level of interest. I’d be very surprised if Ramsdale did not end up leaving Arsenal in the summer.”

A move for Ramsdale would almost certainly see him become the starting goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge, which would cause doubt over what would happen to their current options.

Robert Sanchez has seemingly dropped to the bench after joining in the summer, with fellow addition Djordje Petrovic taking the role of starting goalkeeper after making his debut in December.

However, there have already been reports that the duo could become surplus to requirements soon.
