Aaron Ramsdale already knows he has a fight on his hands at Arsenal amid the Gunners’ interest in Brentford goalkeeper Bernd Leno and would do worse than heeding advice from Mikel Arteta
Aaron Ramsdale will be aiming to avoid the same fate as Bernd Leno as Mikel Arteta’s advice to the German rings in his ears.
The Arsenal goalkeeper finds himself in somewhat of an uncomfortable position at the Emirates. His position as the Gunners’ number one is under threat for the first time in his two-year spell with the club.
Arsenal are considering a move for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya. Bees boss Thomas Frank has already admitted that he would be willing to sell at the right price so a deal before the end of the window looks a possibility. Should he move across the capital, he will certainly give Ramsdale something to think about. Having been Brentford’s first choice in the Premier League for the past two seasons, the battle is on between the pair to become Mikel Arteta’s number one.
It’s a situation that Ramsdale found himself in two years ago. After arriving at the Emirates following a £30m switch from Sheffield United, he had the task of dislodging Leno from between the sticks.
