    • Asked about whether he’s concerned about losing his place in the England squad ahead of next summer’s European Championship due to a lack of action at Arsenal, Ramsdale responded:

    Yes, of course, it is the first time I have found myself in this situation.

    'The manager here [Gareth Southgate] is brilliant, he trusts the players he’s worked with before as we’ve seen in different types of ways - you’ll see Kalvin [Phillips] and Harry [Maguire] haven’t played the most amount of minutes but when they step up for England and are given the opportunity, they perform.

    But of course, I want to get back into my club team. I want to get into my club team and be able to give the manager a headache rather than just have Jordan [Pickford] as the England number one and me fall by the wayside.’

    On his relationship with Raya, the former Bournemouth keeper continued: ‘We work professionally really well together. We push each other in training and there’s days where I come in and I’m down because of the situation and he picks me up.

    ‘And for whatever reason there might be a day where he’s down and even though I’m suffering and hurting for not playing I have to stand up and be able to push him and make sure he’s ready for the weekend if he’s picked to play.’

    The answer is to put your head down and improve yourself as much as you can, not complain to the media

    The whole thing is stupid because Arteta has not been honest about the situation.

    I just keep imagining the first time Arteta and Raya started speaking Spanish to each other in front of Aaron. Poor kid didn’t deserve to be dropped.

      Arsenal’s goalkeeper coach is also Spanish and recommended to buy Raya a while ago (he used to coach Raya at Brentford).

      It’d be easy for him to think the deck is stacked against him in many ways, don’t see him staying next season.

    ffs, Ramsdale’s quote is being taken out of context. Read the original quote. He’s talking about how he and Raya work well together professionally and push each other to be better. And he says something like even though I’m suffering and hurting when I’m not playing, we help each other improve and there may be times where Ramsdale has to pick Raya up when Raya’s not playing

    Sam Johnstone is clear of both right now but Southgate will never drop Pickford.

    Said like he was a shoe in for number 1 when he’s actually 3rd choice.

    Don’t see his position as 3rd choice in any grave danger at the moment.
