Aaron Ramsdale Next Club Odds: West Ham Favourites To Sign Saints Keeper
Aaron Ramsdale looks set to leave Southampton this summer with West Ham favourites to secure his services according to betting sites.
The 26-year-old goalkeeper, who joined from Arsenal in August 2024 for an initial £18 million, has a release clause activated by relegation, allowing him to depart for around £20 million.
Ramsdale is determined to remain in the top flight to bolster his chances of securing a spot in England's squad for the upcoming World Cup.
And with Saints looking to reduce their wage bill following relegation from the Premier League, Ramsdale seems certain to be looking for a new club for the coming campaign.
Where will Ramsdale be plying his trade after the summer transfer window? Let’s take a look at the odds.
West Ham Favourites To Sign Ramsdale
West Ham are considering signing Ramsdale to strengthen their goalkeeping options, with veteran Łukasz Fabianski nearing the end of his career.
Ramsdale brings Premier League experience and is eager for regular first-team football after losing his starting role at Arsenal.
His availability following Southampton’s relegation, combined with a reported £20 million release clause, makes him an attractive option.
The Hammers view him as a long-term successor who can bring stability and quality to their defence.
As a result, they are currently the 6/5 favourites in the Aaron Ramsdale next club market.
Club | Odds | Probability |
West Ham | 6/5 | 45.5% |
Chelsea | 7/5 | 41.7% |
Leeds | 5/2 | 28.6% |
Burnley | 4/1 | 20% |
Sunderland | 5/1 | 16.7% |
Bournemouth | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Newcastle | 8/1 | 11.1% |
Wolves | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Aston Villa | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Chelsea Need Stability Between The Sticks
With questions remaining over the long-term futures of both Robert Sanchez and Đorđe Petrovic, Ramsdale presents a proven Premier League alternative for the Blues.
The two current custodians both failed to convince at times last season, and with Champions League football on the horizon, Enzo Maresca will be looking for greater stability - something Ramsdale could provide.
It wasn’t long ago that Ramsdale was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the country, and that aligns with Chelsea’s ambitions to strengthen a young, hungry squad ahead of what could be a huge season.
Chelsea are the 7/5 second favourites to sign Ramsdale this summer according to betting apps.
Leeds Desperate For Premier Experience
Leeds are reportedly monitoring Ramsdale’s situation as they prepare for another return to the Premier League and look to strengthen their squad with top-flight experience.
With Illan Meslier linked with a potential move away, Ramsdale is viewed as a strong candidate to step in as first-choice goalkeeper.
His leadership, distribution, and shot-stopping ability suit Leeds’ energetic style of play, while a move would offer Ramsdale regular football — vital for his ambitions to reclaim a place in the England squad.
Daniel Farke will be keen to avoid another immediate relegation to the Championship, and Ramsdale is 5/2 to provide the experience needed to help his side stay up.
Ramsdale Could Be Key To Burnley Survival
Burnley may have conceded only 16 goals and kept 30 clean sheets as they won promotion from the Championship last season, but Premier League football is a different beast.
The attacking threat posed by top-flight clubs is far more potent than anything they would have faced last season, and Scott Parker will know that if his side are to stand any chance of survival, they must tighten up at the back.
Ramsdale may have struggled behind a leaky defence at Southampton, but Burnley have already shown they possess a solid platform at the back — and he could play a key role in building on that foundation.
The Clarets were reportedly linked with the former Sheffield United man back in 2021, and he is currently 4/1 to be playing at Turf Moor next season.
Sunderland And Bournemouth Lead Chasing Pack
Another team looking to avoid an immediate return to the Championship are Sunderland.
They secured promotion to the Premier League courtesy of a last-minute play-off final strike from Tom Watson, but are fully aware of the challenge ahead and are 5/1 to secure the services of Ramsdale as they aim to keep top-flight strikers at bay.
Meanwhile, the former Arsenal man spent three and a half years at Bournemouth between 2017 and 2020 before an £18.5 million move to Sheffield United. A return to the south coast is currently priced at 5/1, with uncertainty surrounding the future of Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Elsewhere, Newcastle (8/1), Wolves (10/1) and Aston Villa (12/1) are also believed to be in the frame.
