By signing David Raya last summer, Arsenal chose to offer themselves a high-level goalkeeper to compete with Aaron Ramsdale, the holder of the position until then. Terrible competition that Mikel Arteta wanted to put in place is perhaps playing tricks on him now. If the Englishman started the season in goal, he quickly gave way to the newcomer and is now asking questions about his future. His name was even mentioned on the Chelsea side where Robert Sanchez did not convince many people. But for Arteta, there is no question of seeing him leave, even less to a competitor in the Premier League.
“Making early decisions, in my experience, is not something good at all and also because the team has certain needs that must be met. You can’t do it with 6, 10 or 14 players. It’s impossible. So you need everyone and Aaron has a really important role on the teamassures the coach at a press conference. I have no message for the clubs (interested in Ramsdale, editor’s note). I can talk a little bit about my players, how much I love my players, how much I love Aaron and that we want Aaron with us, for sure.” The goalkeeper will have difficulty leaving.
