Arsenal’s goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has expressed his unease with the attention surrounding his competition with David Raya for the number one spot at the club.
Ramsdale, who started the season as Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper, has not featured in the Premier League since the club’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United on September 3. Meanwhile, Raya, on loan from Brentford, has made a strong claim for the position.
Despite maintaining a positive relationship with Raya, Ramsdale admits to concerns about his England future if he doesn’t regain his starting role at Arsenal.
Ramsdale, who recently signed a contract extension, has only started once since mid-September, during a Carabao Cup match against Brentford.
Having earned his fourth senior England cap in a friendly win against Scotland, Ramsdale’s chances of further international appearances are at risk if he continues to be benched at Arsenal.
He emphasized the need to return to regular club action to secure his place in the England squad, citing the manager’s preference for players with consistent game time.
While the competition for the number one spot is heating up at Arsenal, Ramsdale remains focused on winning back his place and continuing to push his colleague, David Raya. Arsenal fans and football enthusiasts alike eagerly await the resolution of this intriguing goalkeeper battle.
