Chelsea are prepared to be patient in their efforts to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who has faced challenges regaining his starting position at the Emirates Stadium.
As per talkSPORT, the Blues are ready to mount a strong effort to secure his signature, considering him a top-priority target.
Ramsdale, even though he has faced difficulties at Arsenal, is still valued at £50 million. Chelsea understands that convincing Arsenal to let him go in January will be a tough task.
Nevertheless, the Blues are willing to be patient and plan to make an attractive offer to their league rivals to secure the English goalkeeper’s transfer in the upcoming summer.

The Blues’ reported interest in the shot-stopper highlights a clear issue within the club – making numerous player signings without a clear strategic plan.
Although the credibility of this story is questionable, it’s disappointing to consider such a move, particularly given the West Londoner’s abundance of talented goalkeepers.
The argument against this potential transfer is that if Ramsdale is deemed not good enough for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, particularly after his role in their unsuccessful title challenge last season, there’s uncertainty about his suitability for Chelsea.
Chelsea have made several high-profile signings in recent transfer windows, often with significant price tags, yet their performance in the Premier League has been underwhelming, with only three wins in ten games.
Bringing in Ramsdale would only contribute to their well-known transfer market struggles. Besides being considered overpriced, he may not represent an improvement over the goalkeepers already in Chelsea’s squad.

Robert Sanchez has been a reliable addition to the team. While there may still be some uncertainty regarding the Spanish goalkeeper’s abilities, he has shown his competence when called upon.
Instead of splashing cash, the Blues might want to consider making a strategic investment in a player who can help address their issues with scoring goals, which has been a cause for concern.
