Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Arsenal surprisingly signed David Raya on loan from Brentford in the summer transfer window and have the option to make the deal permanent for \u00a327 million next year.<\/p>\n
Ramsdale kept his place for Arsenal first four Premier League games but Mikel Arteta opted to drop the England international and start Raya for the 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to MailOnline, Chelsea are now \u2018closely monitoring\u2019 Ramsdale\u2019s position in the Arsenal squad and will potentially make a move for the 25-year-old in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n
The report claims that Chelsea \u2018remain open\u2019 to signing another goalkeeper despite bringing in Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in Ramsdale as they are in the market for Manuel Neuer\u2019s long-term successor.<\/p>\n
When asked about his decision to axe Ramsdale, Arteta said: \u2018I think I mentioned it that we wanted to build a squad with two quality players in each position, with different characteristics, and we have got that now.<\/p>\n
\u2018And to maximise that they have to play games, and we have a lot of things coming up now.<\/p>\n
\u2018And we have the same with other players we have rotated and there will be a lot of game-time in the next few weeks.\u2019<\/p>\n
