Arsenal Weigh Up Move For 18.5M Rated Blades Star Who Jurgen Klopp Described As “Incredible”

Arsenal are tracking Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, according to reports in the English media.

The Gunners are looking to replace current number one Bernd Leno who has two years remaining on his contract and is unlikely to sign a new deal.

Ramsdale was signed from Bournemouth for £18.5m last summer but initially struggled with his form as the Blades toiled at the bottom of the Premier League.

However, the 23-year-old turned around his fortunes as the campaign went on, with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp singling out the keeper for his performance in the Reds’ 2-0 win over United in late February:

“Ramsdale played an incredible game, [a] few outstanding saves.”

Things got even better for Ramsdale when he was called into the England squad for the European Championships earlier this week, replacing the injured Dean Henderson.

West Ham are also said to be keeping tabs on the player so it remains to be seen whether the Hammers or Arsenal will follow up their interest with a formal bid.
