Rumours gather pace: Arsenal eyeing up Diant Ramaj | OneFootball

Against FC Bayern Munich, Diant Ramaj did not have his best day and contributed to 1. FC Heidenheim's clear 0-4 defeat to the record champions on Sunday. The goalkeeper, on loan from Borussia Dortmund, did not make a good impression on the first two goals conceded, but overall, he is having a promising season and is therefore not coincidentally under the observation of other clubs.

After Alexander Meyer extended his contract until 2027 at the beginning of December and Patrick Drewes is also tied for the same duration, a door would likely only open for Ramaj at BVB if Gregor Kobel leaves the club next summer. Falling in line behind Kobel was not an option for Ramaj last summer and probably won't be in the future either, as the 24-year-old places the highest value on playing time.

Arsenal is not looking for a number one

However, Ramaj would not necessarily play at another club that is reportedly interested in him. After such rumors have been circulating for some time, Bild football chief Christian Falk has now confirmed interest from FC Arsenal. The Gunners are following Ramaj's development with interest and attention, but they are not looking for a number one, rather a deputy or challenger for the established David Raya.

Whether Ramaj could warm to this role is uncertain. In any case, the Stuttgart native's focus is first on the relegation battle with Heidenheim, before talks with BVB will surely take place in the spring – when it might be clearer whether Kobel sees his future continuing in Dortmund.
