Early life

Ramsdale was born in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and was raised in the nearby village of Chesterton.[4] Ramsdale began his career at Newcastle-under-Lyme-based club Marsh Town. Goalkeeping coach Fred Barber took him up to Bolton Wanderers for a trial and they ended up signing him.[5] In 2014, Ramsdale was identified by The Sentinel as a future prospect after helping his school, Sir Thomas Boughey High School, to reach the English Schools' FA Cup semi-final.[5]

Club career

Sheffield United

In 2013, Ramsdale joined Sheffield United after time spent in the Bolton Wanderers youth team.[6] After graduating from Sheffield United's youth academy,[6] Ramsdale signed a scholarship with the club in May 2014.[7] In December 2015, he briefly joined Northern Counties East Football League Premier Division club Worksop Town on loan, playing one match while their regular goalkeeper was suspended.[8] After returning to the Blades, Ramsdale appeared twice as an unused substitute during the 2015–16 season against Coventry City and Scunthorpe United.[9] In May 2016, he signed his first professional contract with the club.[10]

AFC Bournemouth

On 31 January 2017, Ramsdale was signed by Premier League club AFC Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £800,000.[13][14][15] He was on the bench for the final game of the 2016–17 season against Leicester City.[16]

Ramsdale made both his Premier League debut and his full debut for Bournemouth on the opening day of the 2019–20 season, in a 1–1 draw against former team Sheffield United.[17] Ramsdale established himself as Bournemouth's first choice keeper in the first few months of the 2019–20 season, starting every Premier League game for the club until 12 January, when he missed the match against Watford due to injury.[18] He returned to the team in the next Premier League game, a 1–0 loss to Norwich City.[19]

He signed a new, long-term contract with the club in October 2019.[20] That same month, Ramsdale's form saw him win the club's Player of the Month award for October, keeping clean sheets in the games against Norwich City and Watford.[21] His form continued in the next few months, as he again picked up the club's Player of the Month award in January for another string of excellent performances, including a Man of the Match winning display against Brighton & Hove Albion.[22] On 10 August, Ramsdale was named Player of the Year by the club's supporters.[23]

Loans to Chesterfield and Wimbledon

In the January 2018 transfer window, Ramsdale was loaned out to Chesterfield for the rest of the 2017–18 season.[24] Ramsdale made his Chesterfield debut against Accrington Stanley on 6 January 2018, but scored an own goal after he "allowed a seemingly harmless Jackson strike from the right to squirm into the net", in a 4–0 loss.[25] A week later, against Luton Town, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 win.[26] In the 2017–18 season, Ramsdale made 19 appearances in total for the club in League Two, but was ultimately unable to help prevent the club from suffering relegation to the National League.[27]

On 4 January 2019, Ramsdale joined AFC Wimbledon on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[28] The next day, Ramsdale made his debut for the Dons in a 3–2 FA Cup third round victory over Fleetwood Town at the Highbury Stadium in Fleetwood.[29] His league debut came a week later in a 1–1 draw with Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena.[30] He helped the club defeat West Ham in the FA Cup. In the 2018–19 season, Ramsdale made 20 appearances in total for the club in League One, and in doing so he won the club's Young Player of the Season Award for his performances in goal,[31] as Wimbledon achieved survival in League One despite being 10 points from safety in February.[32]

Return to Sheffield United

On 19 August 2020, Ramsdale rejoined Sheffield United,[33][4] for a reported fee of £18.5 million on a four-year deal.[34] In May 2021, he was named Sheffield United's Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year after being ever present between the sticks all season.[35]

Arsenal

On 20 August 2021, Ramsdale signed for Premier League club Arsenal on a long-term contract.[36] He made his debut away to West Bromwich Albion in the 2021–22 EFL Cup five days later, and kept a clean sheet as Arsenal won 6–0.[37] He made his Premier League debut on 11 September and kept another clean sheet as Arsenal defeated Norwich City 1–0 at the Emirates Stadium.[38] After a run of clean sheets in the league, he conceded his first goal in a 3–1 home win against Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on 26 September.[39] In a 2–0 away win against Leicester City on 30 October,[40] he was highly praised for one of his saves and overall performance by pundits including former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, who described his save from a James Maddison free-kick as the "best save I've seen for years".[41][42] In November 2021, following a string of impressive performances, Ramsdale was one of eight players to be nominated for the Premier League's Player of the Month Award for October, though it was eventually awarded to Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.[43][44] He was also named Arsenal's Player of the Month for October 2021, with 60% of the votes from the club's supporters.[45] He won the award again in November with 42% of the votes.[46] Following the departure of Bernd Leno at the beginning of the 2022–23 season, Ramsdale took the number one shirt at Arsenal.[47]

On 15 January 2023, Ramsdale was subject of an incident when a Tottenham fan tried to kick him in the back following Arsenal's 2–0 win against Tottenham in North London derby. Afterward, FA confirmed that they are work together with the police, the relevant authorities and the clubs to ensure the appropriate action is taken.[48][49] Two days later, a 35-year-old man from Hackney was charged of assault and throwing a missile on to pitch.[50] A month later, he was given a four-year football banning order and was handed a 12-month community order.[51]

On 13 March, Ramsdale won the Goalkeeper of the Year award at the 2023 London Football Awards.[52][53] He won the Premier League Save of the Month award for the first time in March 2023 for his save from Dango Ouattara against his former club Bournemouth.[54][55] On 9 April, he made two late saves in stoppage time against Liverpool to maintain a 2–2 draw at Anfield,[56][57] Arsenal's first point at Liverpool since a 3–3 draw in January 2016.[58]
