West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing 27-year-old Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, West Ham United are leading the race to sign former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from relegated Premier League club Southampton in the summer transfer window.

Ramsdale is certainly one of the finest goalkeepers in the Premier League, and he will not want to compete in the Championship next season. Joining West Ham could be an exciting opportunity for him. They could provide him with the platform to compete in the Premier League regularly.

Meanwhile, Leeds United and Newcastle United are keen on the goalkeeper as well. He has proven his quality in the Premier League with clubs like Southampton, Arsenal and Bournemouth. There is no doubt that the Englishman is a quality player, and it is no surprise that multiple clubs are keen on securing his signature. It remains to be seen where he ends up.

West Ham need more depth in the goalkeeping department, and Ramsdale will certainly help them improve. The player is reportedly valued at £25 million due to a relegation release clause, and he could prove to be a bargain at that price.

Leeds United and Newcastle United want Ramsdale

Meanwhile, Leeds United secured promotion to the Premier League, and they will look to improve their squad during the summer transfer window. The Whites need better players to survive in the Premier League next season. Illan Meslier is likely to be shown the door, and he will need to be replaced quickly. The French goalkeeper has been underwhelming, and Ramsdale would be an upgrade.

Similarly, Newcastle need to start planning for the future, and the Southampton goalkeeper could be the ideal replacement for Nick Pope. Newcastle have secured UEFA Champions League qualification for the 2025/26 season, and Aaron Ramsdale is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining them.

It remains to be seen where he ends up. It is fair to assume that all three clubs have the resources to afford him. The 27-year-old will look to compete at a high level and play regularly. It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs can provide him with that platform next season. However, as thing stand, West Ham lead the race to secure his services.
