THE BIGGER PICTURE
Ramsdale joined Arsenal in 2021 and was widely regarded as the first-choice goalkeeper shortly after joining. During his first two seasons at the club, the former Sheffield United and Bournemouth shot-stopper started 72 of the 76 games in the Premier League for the Gunners.
However, after the arrival of David Raya from Brentford on loan, Ramsdale has started just six games in the top flight of English football this season.
Raya is also expected to join on a permanent deal before the 2024/25 season, which will open the door for Ramsdale to leave.

WHAT NEXT FOR RAMSDALE?
The player will likely watch along from the sidelines during Arsenal's final game of the season against Everton on Sunday.
The Gunners currently sit in second place within the table, two points behind Manchester City. If Arsenal beat Everton and Pep Guardiola's side slip up against West Ham United, they could clinch the Premier League trophy this weekend.
