Transfer News: Tottenham could have to pay £40m for Aaron Ramsdale

According to transfer news from The Star, Tottenham could have to pay a handsome sum of £40m for Aaron Ramsdale. The 23-year-old is fine with the prospect of playing in the Championship this season and that is why it might take such a huge fee to prise him away.

Tottenham captain Lloris, 34, is entering the final year of his contract with the club. It is important that the club plan for the future, given that he is in the twilight of his career. To that end, Ramsdale had emerged as a potential transfer target for the Lilywhites. The 23-year-old came through the youth ranks at Sheffield United before leaving for Bournemouth in 2017.

After spending over three years with the south coast club, the Englishman returned to Bramall Lane last summer as a replacement for Dean Henderson. However, it was a comeback to forget for Ramsdale as the Blades went through a disastrous campaign that culminated with them getting relegated to the Championship.

Nevertheless, Ramsdale seems to have done enough to convince Tottenham to offer him a way back to the top-flight. However, Spurs will have to pay a premium to sign him with officials at Sheffield United looking for around £40m.
