Aaron Ramsdale is understandably frustrated with his situation at Arsenal as the goalkeeper continues to watch David Raya play.
The Englishman is concerned about his spot in the England squad for Euro 2024 and might be forced to leave.
Some rumours claim he is considering leaving the Emirates in January to play more football in the second half of the season.
Ramsdale is still a member of the England squad, but he knows that could change before the Euros if he is not playing and wants to start playing more often.
However, a report on Football Insider reveals that Arsenal will not allow the former Sheffield United man to leave the club.
Although he does not play in the Champions League and Premier League for them, they consider him a key squad member and cannot allow him to leave at the midway point of the season.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Although we have come under fire for signing Raya when we have Ramsdale, a lack of quality backup options is a recipe for failure.
Clubs in Europe know the importance of having good players in the group, and we are no different, so we must keep Ramsdale until the end of this season at least.

It is very selfish of Arsenal to kill Ramsdale’s international prospects when he has done no wrong, while the Spaniard Arteta is adamant on playing Raya bc he is his country man.
Well you are obviously entitled to express your opinion but to base it around Ramsdale being English and Raya being Spanish like Arteta is absurd imo. He’d have to be pretty thick to jeopardise the chances of a league championship based on that rather than who he thinks is the best keeper. That is definitely worth a debate

Thank you Sue…👏🏾
WHAT A LOT OF WRONGHEADED NONSENSE YOU WRITE . If you are serious in imagining MA picks RAYA just because they share a nationality, then you know very little about how top managers are. Its foolish nonsense to think as you do.
BTW, I also prefer RAMSDALE and think MA is wrong not to play him. But, unlike you, I use my brain and I KNOW it has NOTHING to do with nationality.
I think Arteta is prejudiced, Raya has not convinced me as the number 1. Sure Ramsdale made a few mistakes last season but for the best part of he has been excellent. Arteta,s stubborn attitude will eventually be his downfall. His nemesis rather. What goes around comes around.
I think it’s silly to accuse Arteta of being stubborn with this. he bought the players he did for a reason and he understands that sometimes it takes time to mold and guide them towards the specific things that he has in mind. it’s too early to come to a conclusion a about Raya. he has shown a lot of good qualities, and could be the keeper to take us to the next level.
I believed Arteta should allow Ramsdele to leave, Ramsdele has a great chance to become England first choice, sitting him at the bench will jeopardise that chance.
Raya is much calmer, he brings confidence to the backline, he is focused 100mins on the pitch, en that’s the difference
Whether you people like it or not, the moment we lack concrete reasons as to why Raya is replacing Ramsdale, we’ll go the nationality way.
Apart from Raya being Spanish,i don’t see any other reason. I expected the keepers to rotate but that isn’t coming.
It’s good to have two quality keepers since it will enhance competition but MA is currently pushing Ramsdale out of the team.
He’ll give him hopes,loads of hopes of possible playing time with nothing to show for it.
How can a player who contributed heavily to our being in UCL be knocked out of the squad and almost “banished from playing in the UCL games”…?
I think, Ateta should give Ramsdaele a chance to play. He is a good goal-keeper, if you look away from him…think about how he would feel. Pleae re-consider!! Thank you very much!!
