Amid speculation surrounding Aaron Ramsdale’s potential departure from Arsenal in the upcoming summer transfer window, the Gunners have turned their attention to securing USA goalkeeper Patrick Schulte as a possible replacement.
Ramsdale’s future at the Emirates Stadium appears uncertain, with his role in the starting XI usurped by David Raya this season.
Despite being initially favoured, Ramsdale has seen limited playing time, featuring primarily in domestic cup competitions and a solitary Champions League appearance.
With Raya’s loan spell expected to be made permanent for a reported £30 million, Ramsdale is likely to seek opportunities elsewhere for regular playing minutes, presenting Arsenal with the need to explore alternative goalkeeping options and potentially raise funds through player sales.
Reports from The Telegraph suggest that Arsenal has identified Schulte, whose standout performances for Columbus Crew have garnered attention from several European clubs, including the Premier League North London club.
Schulte, aged 23, played a pivotal role in helping Columbus Crew clinch the 2023 MLS Cup in his debut season with the club.
As Arsenal prepares for potential changes in their goalkeeping department, the pursuit of Schulte underscores the club’s commitment to securing top talent to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.
