West Ham United have already begun the planning for the 2025 summer transfer window as the club aims to start competing for a European spot in the Premier League next season. The club have turned their attention towards a possible move for Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.<\/p>\n
The Times are reporting<\/a> that the Hammers are now thinking about making a move to sign the English goalkeeper after the Saints’ relegation to the Championship was confirmed following their 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. It’s claimed that the 26-year-old goalkeeper aims to leave Southampton after having only joined them in 2024, as he wants to keep playing in the Premier League to retain his place in the England squad.<\/p>\n Read More :<\/strong>\u00a0Star Manchester City Man Announces Departure<\/a><\/p>\n It’s also added that Ramsdale could be allowed to leave Southampton for a fee of around \u00a320 million and the Hammers are thinking about the possibility of signing him for that amount. West Ham are also yet to make a final decision on whether they want to extend Lukasz Fabianski’s contract, which expires at the end of June, 2025.<\/p>\n The English goalkeeper arrived at Southampton from Arsenal<\/a> in the 2024 summer window in an attempt to get regular playing time with the Saints. However, his debut season has ended up being a very frustrating one. The 26-year-old has only been able to keep two clean sheets in 23 Premier League appearances in the 2024\/25 season, conceding 54 goals during that period.<\/p>\n Read More :\u00a0<\/strong>Arsenal Expect Stiff Competition for \u00a348.4 Million Winger Following Initial Talks<\/a><\/p>\n Ramsdale has shown signs of promise, as he has made 98 saves<\/a> during the course of the league campaign. The Englishman’s admirable shot-stopping ability as well as his experience levels are probably why West Ham are aiming to make a move for him. However, it remains to be seen if they decide to pull the trigger on signing the England international, who is rumored<\/a> to be earning a \u00a3120,00-a-week wage package at Southampton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" West Ham United have already begun the planning for the 2025 summer transfer window as the club aims to start competing for a European spot in the Premier League next season.
