According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham are interested in signing Aaron Ramsdale after Sheffield United were relegated from the Premier League.

The north Londoners are seemingly preparing for life after Hugo Lloris, who finds himself out of contract next summer.

Wolves are also said to be keen on Ramsdale, as Rui Patrício’s future at Molineux remains uncertain.

This was covered by us earlier today, so let’s take a look at what one of football’s biggest names thinks of the 23-year-old – Jürgen Klopp.

What did Jürgen Klopp say?

After Liverpool beat Sheffield United 2-0 at Bramall Lane back in February, the German was effusive in his praise of the shot-stopper.

The Star quote Klopp as saying: “Ramsdale played an incredible game, made a few outstanding saves – as did Adrian early on. So when you know that Sheffield United lost a lot of games this year but all by the smallest margin, it’s clear that these games stay exciting until the end.”

Up until Curtis Jones opened the scoring, Ramsdale was making life very difficult for Liverpool, as he’d done to many an opponent this season.

Sadly, the England Under-21 international’s efforts were ultimately in vain, as the Blades suffered relegation.

Ramsdale has now endured back-to-back relegations after Bournemouth also went down last term – however, that can’t be pinned on the glovesman.

The £22,000-a-week man in between the sticks has made some incredible saves for both the Cherries and the Blades.

Just like when Jordan Pickford shone as Sunderland were relegated, Ramsdale has clearly shown he’s capable of playing top-flight football.

In 38 Premier League appearances this season, the Chesterton-born goalkeeper kept five clean sheets and conceded 63 goals.

That doesn’t sound amazing, but the backline in front of him certainly could’ve done more to protect him this term.

Whether he makes a Premier League return with Tottenham remains to be seen, but keep your eyes peeled.
