Arsenal join Chelsea & Manchester United in Ajax goalkeeper chase | OneFootball

Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Ajax goalkeeper Diant Ramaj, according to a report from Germany.

Sport Bild reporter Christian Falk reports that Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are all interested in German goalkeeper Diant Ramaj of AFC Ajax.

The move would be a somewhat surprising one for the 22-year-old, who only joined Ajax in August.

Before that, Ramaj had been playing his football for Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, but he only made two first-team appearances in his two seasons with the side.

The move to Ajax is proving a lot more fruitful, with Ramaj making 24 senior appearances for the club on top of a couple of u21 outings.

Ajax have struggled defensively this season, and the Germany u20 international has only kept three clean sheets in 17 Eredivisie appearances so far.

But the stats show that the goalkeeper has conceded fewer goals than his post-shot expected goal tally, so it’s hard to blame him for his team’s performances at the back.

It’s also worth noting that Ramaj is above average at stopping crosses and making defensive actions outside of his penalty area, two traits that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta seems to value in his goalkeepers. David Raya excels in both areas.

With rumours continuing to circulate around Aaron Ramsdale’s future at the club, it’s worth keeping an eye on any potential replacements being targeted.
