    • 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.’

    Mokbel and the daily fail know what they’re doing. Creating a bit of a headline to get those sweet clicks.

    I’d be shocked if he doesn’t go in January or at the latest Summer. There’s no way someone as good as him (even if Raya is/isn’t better) will or should rot on the bench.

    What clubs need keepers atm? I can see us maybe going for him if Neuer’s comeback doesn’t work, Real or are they planning Kepa if Courtois can’t come back? Can’t think of another top club that need a new Keeper tbh?

    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.

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