Edu looking to continue building on young foundation

Arsenal Sporting Director Edu Gasper has commended Aaron Ramsdale's performance this season and his new contract extension as they look to build the team with young players. 

Speaking after Ramsdale’s signed a new contract, Edu said, “It’s great that we’ve agreed and completed a new contract with Aaron. We have enjoyed so many positive moments from Aaron’s performances in his two years with us, and are looking forward to many more.

"We must also remember that Aaron is still very young, so there is still a lot more to come from him, as we continue to build with our young foundations.”

Before Ramsdale joined Arsenal, he began his professional career at Sheffield United, before joining Bournemouth in 2017, where he made 37 appearances. 

He was loaned to gain first-team experience with Chesterfield in League Two and AFC Wimbledon in League One. 

After his loan spell, he returned to the Blades for the 2020/21 campaign and became their number-one goalkeeper, before signing for the Gunners.
