Former Manchester City defender, Micah Richards, has urged Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to allow goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale leave the club and go somewhere he will be appreciated.
Richards also believes Arteta should have sold Ramsdale in the summer transfer window when he signed goalkeeper David Raya on loan from Brentford.
In an episode of The Rest is Football podcast, Richards said (via HITC): “I believe now Ramsdale’s confidence has been shot just because he has brought in someone and basically said he was going to use both goalkeepers.
“Ramsdale had an excellent season last season, so I don’t get it.”
“If he wants to replace him, just do it in the summer. Bring in Raya as the number one and get a number two who can challenge. Why would you want both? Let Ramsdale go and be a number one somewhere where he is appreciated.”
Ramsedale and Raya are currently battling for who will be Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper this season.
