£50M valued Chelsea target told to make transfer decision and leave club

Long-term Chelsea target Aaron Ramsdale has been told that he has a big decision to make over his future by staying at Arsenal or leaving.

Ramsdale has been the subject of intense speculation over the past few months as there is a massive feeling that he wanted out of Arsenal – that he wanted to leave the club after they signed David Raya on a permanent basis.

However – over the past few weeks the speculation has died down a bit and interest in the England stopper has wavered – which suggested that he would be open to staying and fight for his place in the Gunners side.

CHELSEA were heavily linked with a move for Ramsdale – but opted to make the move to sign Filip Jorgsense instead – meaning that their interest in the player has seemingly gone away – although some rumours still exist.

Now amid all the speculation and rumors – Ray Parlour has told Ramsdale that he will need to decide this summer whether he stays at the Emirates or leaves to fight for his England future

Parlour told Mirror Sport: “It’s gonna be difficult for Aaron, because he’s in that England squad and really wants to get an opportunity. He wants to play football, he’s had that taste of playing week in, week out for Arsenal. I think it’s at that time where you’ve got to make big decisions as a manager.

“The [Raya] deal was done, and it’s not a bad deal really, £25m for a goalkeeper. But Aaron has now got to make a big decision about what he does, whether he sticks around and waits for his opportunity again or whether he says, ‘Look, my time’s up at Arsenal, but I’m gonna prove people wrong, prove Arteta wrong and start playing No1 for England.’ So that’s all he can do really – I think he will move on, because his appetite is to play every week.

“It’ll be sad to see him go, but you’ve got think for yourself sometimes for your own career. And if it’s going nowhere and you miss two years of it, you’ll regret it in the end.

‘So I think Aaron’s got to make a big decision with his family and the club. Whatever club he goes to, I’m sure they’re gonna get a top-class goalkeeper.”
