Of course, one way the Gunners can bolster their transfer kitty is to sell players on in the winter. And one of the players who is attracting attention is Aaron Ramsdale.
Ramsdale lost his place to Raya earlier this season. And that decision has prompted a lot of debate, particularly with Raya hardly impressing for Arsenal so far.
Newcastle are admirers of Ramsdale, but are unlikely to be willing to pay £50 million for him. And Ornstein has suggested that Arsenal are not interested in loaning the 25-year-old out. So it could be another frustrating few months for the goalkeeper over the second-half of the season.
However, it does not appear that he is letting his struggles for minutes affect his work at London Colney, with the journalist noting that Ramsdale is impressing on the training ground.
“Obviously there is the Ramsdale situation; I don’t think Arsenal would allow a loan – only a permanent and that would need to be at a level of fee that gives the proper finances to play with – and I’m not aware of any movement on that front yet,” he told The Athletic.
“Of course Ramsdale wants and needs to be playing but I hear, unsurprisingly, that he has been training well and a model pro. Ideally for Arsenal this would be addressed in the summer.”
