Arsenal targets Champions League winner to replace Aaron Ramsdale after receiving transfer approval.
Arsenal are considering multiple goalkeepers in anticipation of Aaron Ramsdale’s departure during this summer’s transfer window. Ramsdale, who is an England international, lost his starting position to David Raya and is now looking to leave Emirates Stadium.
Newcastle initially showed strong interest in Ramsdale, but they are now focusing on Burnley’s James Trafford for a move to St James’ Park. Despite this shift, Ramsdale’s exit remains likely, and Arsenal has already lined up several potential replacements.
One candidate is Feyenoord’s Justin Bijlow, who is also attracting interest from Liverpool. Bijlow, who has worked with Arne Slot, will participate in this summer’s European championships. When asked about interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, Bijlow told Voetball Zone that he is ambitious and open to joining a big club. He emphasized his commitment to Feyenoord and the Dutch team but acknowledged that he would consider opportunities abroad.
Another option for Arsenal is Real Madrid’s Andriy Lunin. According to Spanish journalist Miguel Angel Diaz via COPE, Lunin’s future at Real Madrid is uncertain due to a strained relationship with Carlo Ancelotti. This situation might allow Lunin to leave, with Arsenal expressing interest in him.
Lunin played much of the 2023/24 season for Real Madrid due to Thibaut Courtois’s injuries, delivering impressive performances. Although he missed the Champions League final due to illness, Lunin was crucial in Madrid’s La Liga and European successes.
