Aaron Ramsdale reveals the 'ridiculous' way he found out whether Arsenal were interested in him
And now the pair have played together at Arsenal for two years
Rewind to the summer of 2021, and the goalkeeper, relegated with Sheffield United, was told of possible interest from the north London club from his agent. Wanting to find out more beyond the little information he’d received, he was then presented with the perfect opportunity when he bumped into Saka in a coffee shop., he wrote: “So the next day, I ran into Bukayo Saka getting a coffee, and I didn’t know him that well yet, so I thought, ‘Surely I can’t ask him, right?’
“I mean, what am I supposed to say? ‘Morning, Bukayo. How you getting on? Erm. Would you happen to know if your football club is interested in me?’ Ridiculous. And it turns out Saka had played a key part in getting that ‘interest’ going.“He told me that it was real, and that the manager had actually rang him to ask about my character and what I was like as a person.
