[ad_1] From Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – There was much confusion around Arsenal’s dogged and determined pursuit of Aaron Ramsdale in the summer of 2021. He had been relegated in back-to-back seasons with Bournemouth and Sheffield United, shipping 125 goals in the process. Sure, his distribution was decent, but did that really warrant a big-money move to one of English football’s major clubs? Ramsdale got off to a flyer in north London, coming into the side just as Arsenal embarked on their first winning run of the 2021/22 season.

[ad_1] One of January’s most high-profile transfer sagas has come to an end with Chelsea signing Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk in a £100m deal. The Ukrainian has penned an eight-and-a-half-contract at Stamford Bridge, even though he looked all-but certain to sign for Premier League rivals Arsenal early in the window. Arsenal had identified Mudryk as their top January target early. In fact, they were already negotiating with Shakhtar Donestsk in December to try and get a deal over the line quickly. It was a deal that clearly appealed to Mudryk too, so much so that he openly admitted that he would struggle to turnRead More →
