Mikel Arteta has paid tribute to Aaron Ramsdale, emphasising that everyone at Arsenal loved the goalkeeper during his time at the club.

Ramsdale returns to the Emirates this weekend as an opponent after his summer move to Southampton.

He was Arsenal’s first-choice keeper before last season, but everything changed following the arrival of David Raya.

The signing of the Spaniard was a controversial decision that sparked widespread criticism, with many questioning Arteta’s choice to have two top-quality goalkeepers.

However, Arteta was ultimately vindicated, with even Ramsdale acknowledging that Raya is an exceptional goalkeeper.

Ahead of their reunion at the weekend, Arteta said to Arsenal Media:

“I called him straight away when I got the news [of his transfer] and he was really happy. He is a player that we loved a lot, very charismatic and he really put his fingerprints here on the club with the way that he was. It’ll be very good to see him.”

Just Arsenal Opinion

Ramsdale is a lovable character, and we showered him with love when he was on our books. He knows this, and we wish him the best at Southampton, but we do not expect him to win tomorrow.

He will try to make it the best game of his life so far, but we have more than enough players to win the fixture for us.

  1. From a goal keeping stand point the Englishman could do better with balls fired in and around his feet, but he’s still pretty young and can master that art over time.

    Footwork is the foundation for top shot stopper success, if you sport good Footwork, surely you makes more saves.

    Having said that there will be enough time after tomorrow for the young Englishman to hone his skills.

  2. Ramsdale is a great personality and I love his positive attitude even under difficult conditions..

    Best wishes to him

  3. While it’s quite in order for the Gunners gaffer Mikel Arteta to pay tributes to Aaron Ramsdale. Which he has done for The erstwhile Asenal’s goalkeeper. For his top performances time in goal tendering job that he had done for the Gunners.
    However, I think the buck should stops here ultimately. For, the Gunners cannot because Ramsdale will be returning to the Emirates Stadium for the first time after he has left Arsenal for Southampton. And he could probably mann the goal for the Saints against Arsenal tomorrow. But the Gunners should not fail to beat them in the Epl match encounter that will ve played between duo club sides. Because Ramsdale ls loved by everyone at Arsenal. But beat the saints and beat them resoundingly well by (4-0) or more @ the full-time of the match unfailingly.
    Irespective of if everyone at Arsenal loves Ramsdale when he was at the club tendering the goal for the team.
    Nevertheless, Arsenal cannot afford to not beat Southampton in the Premiership later today Saturday.
    But MUST beat them totally and comprehensively in the match. And garner all the 3 points that will be at stake in it for collection.
    And collect the points to only extend their winning run to two in the Epl. But could see their position in the table gets further enhanced.
    And thus eliminate anything like Southampton stunning Arsenal in the match. Which with thei return of Ramsdale to the Ems for the Saints. Ramsdale and the Saints may perform, bravely in the match to cause havoc in the Gunners by playing then to a draw game forcing Arsenal to drop 2 valuable points in the title race this season.
    Therefore, the Gunners should defensively, creatively and attackingly take the necessary measure and action. To guide against any occurrence of the Saints playing them to a draw match.
    But nullify such an attempt if the Saints attempted to do it but beat them.
    My predicated Arteta’s starting xi team for the match..
    Raya;
    White Saliba Gabriel Timber;
    Partey;
    Rice Trossard,
    Saka Havertz Martinelli.
    This is an orthodox/contemporary Arsenal starts that should wallop Southamptona at least 4-0 @ the final fulltime, of the match.

  4. I really want to see the interaction between our players and him during the game. Ben white(if he’s fit) and Ramsdale on corners will be fire.
