“This is just wrong. The VAR and officials of the match were not doing their job. The FA should look into this. The game didn’t go as it is supposed to. My lack of trust in this system is increasing at an alarming rate. The goal that Mudryk scored was invalid” – Eddie Howe criticizes the “strange” implementation of VAR after Chelsea’s 1 – 1 (4 – 2 P) well deserved victory over Newcastle United.
Newcastle United is rumored to be considering the possibility of acquiring Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
The England international has seen limited playing time at Arsenal, primarily featuring in Carabao Cup matches since David Raya, a summer loan signing, has become the clear first choice for Mikel Arteta in Premier League games.
According to talkSPORT, Chelsea is one of the main admirers of Ramsdale. However, Newcastle is also mentioned as a potential destination for the 25-year-old due to his prior association with manager Eddie Howe.
Despite his strong performance for Arsenal last season, Ramsdale faces a significant challenge to regain the first-choice goalkeeper status, given the competition from Raya.
Chelsea could potentially enhance their team by signing Ramsdale as an improvement over the uncertain performance of Robert Sanchez, while Newcastle might also see him as a better option than Nick Pope as their primary goalkeeper.
The report suggests that Arsenal may demand a substantial fee of up to £50 million for Ramsdale, a sum that could pose challenges even for well-resourced clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle.
