According to respected journalist Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal will replace the goalkeeper 100% Aaron Ramsdale with a new signing during the summer transfer window.
Ramsdale has been David Raya's understudy in goal since the latter's arrival from Brentford on loan last summer. The Gunners are more than happy to activate the buyout clause to sign the Spaniard.
speaking to Caught offside, Roman He has now revealed that the Gunners will 100% sign a new back-up goalkeeper and former Arsenal star Wojciech Szczesny is one of the players mentioned.
He said: “With Aaron Ramsdale's future in doubt, Arsenal will also 100% bring in a new back-up goalkeeper this summer. “One of the names mentioned is former Gunners goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.”
“I understand that Szczesny has not clarified his situation with Juventus at this time. “Juventus likes Monza goalkeeper Di Gregorio, but nothing has been decided yet, so for Szczesny everything is calm so far.”
Experience
Ramsdale was a guaranteed starter in goal for Arsenal for 2 seasons before becoming manager. Mikel ArtetaThe surprise move to sign Raya. It was initially suggested that goalkeepers could be rotated during the first division campaign, but Raya is clearly the number one option for the Spaniard and that may not change anytime soon.
This could prompt Ramsdale to consider a new challenge away from London's heavyweights, considering he is just entering the peak of his goalkeeping career at 25 years old. The Englishman is one of the best goalkeepers in the country and he would not want to continue as deputy behind Raya for another year at Arsenal.
Szczesny has been highlighted as a possible successor. The 34-year-old spent a wonderful time at Arsenal after graduating from the youth system. He played 189 games between 2009 and 2015 and has followed the club's evolution despite leaving permanently for Juventus in the summer of 2017.
The three-time Serie A winner would be a quality player to back up Raya next season, but the big question is whether he would accept the job. Szczesny remains a quality goalkeeper and there could be several clubs in Europe that would guarantee him the number one spot if he left Juventus.
