It’s also stated that Ramsdale is in line to sign a new five-year contract which will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until at least 2028. Ramsdale has already verbally agreed to a contract, and the deal is almost done. Romano claims that the necessary parties need to check the final details and prepare all the necessary documents before he can put pen to paper on a new deal.
Ramsdale Enjoying Prolific Season With Arsenal
The 24-year-old goalkeeper, whose current contract expires in 2025, is on the verge of a new contract because of his impressive performances for the Gunners this season. Ramsdale has played a major role in helping his side compete in the Premier League title race and stay on top of the table before things went awry.
In 35 Premier League appearances, the Englishman has kept 13 clean sheets and only conceded 39 goals. Moreover, he’s also produced some remarkable performances in between the posts for his side – especially a Man-of-the-Match winning performance against Liverpool at Anfield – after which Mikel Arteta hailed him as an “exceptional” player.
