The Spanish shot-stopper has been linked to the Gunners in almost every transfer window for the past few years, mainly because of the former Brentford goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana, who is now part of Arteta's staff. David Raya has been impressive since moving to Arsenal Aaron Ramsdale has been replaced despite being on fine form This summer finally saw Raya make the move across London as Arsenal secured an initial loan with a pre-agreed fee of £27m at the end of the season. Initially there was a feeling when the deal was announced that Raya was coming to the Emirates to provide competition for Ramsdale. However, in a matter of weeks, Raya has forced his way into the first-team and consigned Ramsdale to a place on the bench. This can be seen as harsh on Ramsdale as he has really done nothing wrong in this situation. And it led to a spat between Jamie Carragher and Ramsdale's father earlier this week. The Liverpool legend accused the Arsenal keeper of acting like a loser at the Oscars after he was seen applauding Raya's superb save from the bench during the North London derby. In response, Ramsdale's dad, Nick, took to social media to say: "You are a disgrace!! Show some class!! My lad has." Ramsdale returned to the side for Arsenal's Carabao Cup win over Brentford on Wednesday evening and produced a sensational save to preserve his clean sheet. 8 Ramsdale applauded Raya's save against Spurs on Sunday Credit: Sky Sports However, his selection for the cup could be seen as further confirmation he is now Arteta's No2. This could simply be because Raya has been judged as the better keeper. While at Brentford the Spaniard impressed with his reflexes, ability to fill his goal, aggression and timing when){kind=link}
