Chelsea have reportedly decided not to pursue Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale in their search for a new goalkeeper.
The Blues, under new head coach Enzo Maresca, are eager to find a top-class shot-stopper to solidify their defense. However, despite being linked with Ramsdale, they have apparently ruled out a move for the Arsenal man.
Ramsdale, who joined Arsenal from Sheffield United for £24 million ($30.9 million) in 2021, initially secured the number one spot at the Emirates.
However, the arrival of David Raya from Brentford cast doubt on his future, limiting Ramsdale to just six Premier League appearances last season.
With Raya now permanently at Arsenal, the club is reportedly open to offers for Ramsdale, who has two years left on his contract.

Seaman's advice and Ramsdale's future
Legendary Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman recently advised Ramsdale to consider leaving Arsenal for the sake of his career.
Seaman emphasized that Ramsdale is too talented to be a backup and needs regular playing time, especially with aspirations for the England national team.
Ramsdale himself has spoken about the challenges of not playing regularly, describing it as a "tough" year. He expressed relief at being part of the England squad at the European Championship, highlighting the importance of being on the field for his development and career prospects.
With Chelsea out of the picture, Ramsdale's next move remains uncertain. Newcastle has been mentioned as a potential destination, but for now, Ramsdale's future is up in the air.
