Ramsdale signs new contract at Arsenal

Goalkeeper agrees long-term deal at Emirates Stadium after exceptional season

Aaron Ramsdale has signed a new long-term contract at Arsenal.

The England goalkeeper has enjoyed a superb season for Mikel Arteta's title-chasers, keeping 13 clean sheets in 36 matches.

Ramsdale has also won back-to-back Castrol Save of the Month awards, claiming the April award for a sensational save from Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.   It’s a huge amount of pride, it's something you work for, Ramsdale told the club's official website.

It doesn't matter if you've been at the club for a month or for four years, you always want to get the next one and push on with the team. To get it after two years, I'm buzzing. It just means I can concentrate and keep my head down, and hopefully after a few more years I'll get another one and carry on living the dream at the football club.

Arteta has been delighted with Ramsdale's progression since he joined from Sheffield United in the summer of 2021. The way Aaron has developed over the past two years has been exceptional, with his performances, contribution and overall adaptation to the club, said the Arsenal manager.

It’s great that we’re continuing to build our future with our biggest talents in our young squad. We’re all looking forward to enjoying many more years of Aaron the player and the person at the football club. Arsenal are next in action on Saturday at Nottingham Forest, where anything other than a victory will hand Manchester City the Premier League title.
