Newcastle United was rumoured to be considering a move for Aaron Ramsdale after Nick Pope suffered a serious injury. Ramsdale, who lost his first-team place at Arsenal this season with the arrival of David Raya, has been eager to secure regular playing time and has been linked with a potential move away from the Emirates.
Following Pope’s injury, reports emerged linking Ramsdale, as well as David de Gea, with a move to Newcastle in the January transfer window. The move seemed to make sense, offering Ramsdale an opportunity to compete for a first-team spot against Pope.
However, according to Football Insider, Newcastle is becoming increasingly unlikely to pursue Ramsdale or De Gea. The report suggests that there are significant hurdles to overcome in bringing Ramsdale away from Arsenal, and Newcastle does not believe it’s worth the trouble.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Ramsdale will be a very good goalkeeper for Newcastle United, but he faces becoming a benchwarmer again when Pope returns because Pope is a fantastic goalie.
Raya has been shaky in recent weeks and Mikel Arteta could decide to bench the Spaniard for some games and give chances to Ramsdale in the coming weeks.

On second thoughts, it may not be such a bad idea if the Englishman remains at Arsenal and slug it out with Raya.
As a fan pointed out recently, Martinez spend a decade at Arsenal before he tested the water else where, now look at him.
Just hope the gaffer offers Ramsdale adequate game time to keep his feet wet.
Arsenal cannot put all it’s hopes in Raya coz he seems not to be steady please and this act of leaving Ramsdale on bench for periods kills his confidence on the pitch
