The Times reported on the 11th (Korea time) that West Ham is considering recruiting Aaron Ramsdale.
The Times said: "'West Ham are considering a summer signing for Ramsdale, who could leave relegated Southampton for £20m (about W37bn). Ramsdale wants to remain in the EPL to retain his place in the England squad and is likely to leave Southampton. West Ham will have to consider whether to extend Lucas Fabianski's contract, with Alphonse Areola having two years left on his contract. Ramsdale's next destination will be limited if Southampton don't cover part of the weekly wage,' it said.
It was West Ham fans, not Southampton fans, who were despondent about Ramsdale's possible move to West Ham. Knowing Ramsdale and the terrible curse, he was extremely opposed to the recruitment.

The problem is his demotion career. Ramsdale wore a Southampton jersey this season when he was pushed out of the starting position by David Raya. However, despite the signing of Ramsdale, the promotion team Southampton struggled this season, and eventually lost the match against Tottenham in the 31st round and remained at the bottom of the regular season with 10 points to confirm the relegation. He returned to the EPL for the first time in a season after being relegated in 2023, but immediately experienced relegation again. Ramsdale also couldn't avoid relegation.
It's not the first time for relegation. In the 2020-2021 season, he experienced relegation as the starting goalkeeper for Sheffield United, and watched the relegation at Bournemouth in the 2019-2020 season. A player who has suffered three relegations in five years, Ramsdale's compatibility with lower-ranked clubs was near its worst.

Ramsdale's future, which failed to overcome the relegation curse, is a hot topic. If West Ham really embrace Ramsdale next season, more attention will be paid to West Ham's league performance.
