Ramsdale is "humiliated"? Two giants prefer 5 million pounds to be relegated to goalkeeper

Seeing Chelsea and West Ham United fighting for a goalkeeper who also came from the relegation team, but ignored himself, Aaron Ramsdale must be mixed.

In just ten months, Alon Ramsdale has fallen from Arsenal's No. 2 goalkeeper to a situation where he may not be as good as Chelsea's No. 2 goalkeeper, which is undoubtedly a sad decline. Now, some of his former Arsenal fans may blame the 27-year-old's decline in reputation on his Southampton team, but that's only part of it.

Because, relegation from the Premier League is not the only reason other clubs are discouraged by him.

A good example is a recent report by the Daily Mail. The report said that Chelsea and West Ham United are turning their attention to goalkeeper Maas Hermanson, who is relegated with Leicester City, whose value is only 5 million pounds. What’s even more interesting is that it was these two London clubs that had just dismissed their interest in Ramsdale just a few weeks ago.

Hermanson, who is worth 5 million pounds, may get Ramsdale's "dream job"

For Southampton fans, it may be difficult for them to understand why anyone would rather choose a goalkeeper who lacks Premier League experience and has no international game experience than choose Ramsdale, which has long been a household name in the Premier League.

In addition, there is also a possibility that Chelsea and West Ham have long abandoned the strategy of signing from their "neighbors" teams and do not think Ramsdale is attractive enough to be worthy of their change for this. In any case, the bottom line is that "Saints" Southampton cannot force any competitor not to recruit other players.

Therefore, this goalkeeper, who was once loved by Saints fans, may need to start to imitate Kyle Walker-Peters' approach and take the initiative to fight for himself a chance to stay in the Premier League. Even if it is just some mid- and lower-level clubs attracted by Ramsdale, it can be considered a "win-win" for the 27-year-old.

Finally, if any of those teams have problems with the stability of the goalkeeper position in the middle of the season and Ramsdale himself can quickly perform well in the new team, then a "escape route" to return to the top London teams may still wave to him.
