Journalist Ben Jacobs has shed some light on reports that Chelsea could sign Arsenal goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale in January.

Ramsdale has barely played for the Gunners this season, after getting relegated to the bench by David Raya, who joined on loan from Brentford during the summer.

However, with the Euros coming up next year, Ramsdale is eager to get a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the tournament, and he may consider a move away from the Emirates Stadium if the right offer arrives, according to Jacobs.

Jacobs wrote for Si Phillips Talks Chelsea: “It’s true there will be plenty of clubs keeping an eye on his situation, Chelsea included.

“Ramsdale wants to play to try and push Jordan Pickford for England’s Euro 2024 starting spot in goal. And he can’t do that from the bench.

“But as of now Chelsea haven’t made any kind of serious move.

“Plus, Mikel Arteta really wants to keep Ramsdale, so a mid-season switch is going to be tough. It could only happen if Ramsdale really pushes.”
