Aaron Ramsdale clears doubts about his future at Arsenal as summer signing David Raya is now the number one option under Mikel Arteta at the Emirates Stadium.
The 25-year-old might be considering leaving Arsenal in future after he was demoted as the second-choice goalkeeper in this current campaign. Manager Mikel Arteta have choosen David Raya following the international break in September.
Ramsdale have made only two appearances in the Carabao Cup since Raya’s arrival this summer. The Spanish shot-stopper joined the Gunners on a season-long loan as they have a option to make the move permanent next summer.
Meanwhile, Raya have started his career on high note at Arsenal as he was brilliant against Tottenham Hotspur in the North-London Derby. However, the match didn’t end on a high note for the Gunners.
However, Ramsdale proved himself against Brentford in the Carabao Cup. But his team had to face defeat in the following rounds against West Ham United.
Ramsdale needs regular first-team football
Aaron Ramsdale might leave the club this winter for regular first-team football somewhere else. Former Arsenal midfielder Jermaine Pennant discussed the matter and said :-
“I can’t say I recall seeing two ‘keepers fighting for the right to start, there was always a designated number one and number two in my day.
“The number one would start in the league, and the second-choice started in the cup games. They knew their role and it never upset the balance of the squad.
“It’s a bit baffling to see the situation at Arsenal. It’s like upsetting the apple cart! Ramsdale was gone from a nailed-on starter to looking at his future!
“I think Arsenal are better after their summer business. Declan has been great and he was the biggest signing. Everybody questioned the David Raya decision, but I think he’s better than Ramsdale, not to take anything away from Aaron.
“Jurrien Timber looked like a good signing, but he had a horrible injury. His return will give them a boost, though. We’ll put the Havertz singing under the rug for now!”
