Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea ‘in three-way scrap to sign in-demand Ajax goalkeeper, 22, in summer transfer’

ARSENAL are among three Premier League clubs reportedly monitoring Ajax goalkeeper Diant Ramaj.

The Gunners are at risk of losing England international Aaron Ramsdale this summer.

Ramsdale has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium in recent months.

Summer signing David Raya has established himself as Mikel Arteta‘s first choice keeper – despite the Arsenal boss initially insisting that he would not have a favoured No1.

The Gunners are set to trigger Raya’s £27million option to buy at the end of the season, leaving Ramsdale’s future in doubt.

With the 25-year-old rumoured to be leaving north London this summer, Arsenal have already began scouting alternative options.

According to football journalist Christian Falk and Sport Bild, they are interested in German shot-stopper Ramaj.

Manchester United and Chelsea are also understood to be interested in the 22-year-old.

United goalkeeper Andre Onana has endured a difficult season so far.

In 35 games he has conceded 54 goals and kept 10 clean sheets.

Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag‘s second-choice keeper Altay Bayindir has been limited to just one appearance since joining on the final day of the summer transfer window.

As for Chelsea, Kepa Arrizabalaga could leave Stamford Bridge as soon as he returns from his Real Madrid loan.

The Blues signed Robert Sanchez in a £25m transfer from Brighton last August, but he fell out of favour after suffering a knee injury in December with Djordje Petrovic taking over as Mauricio Pochettino‘s No1.

An exit for one of the three goalkeepers could open the door for Ramaj to join.

Ramaj signed for Ajax last summer and has since made 26 appearances for the Eredivisie side.
