Former Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has urged Aaron Ramsdale to leave Arsenal and join a club where he can play regularly.
Ramsdale has lost his first-team place at Arsenal since last season, and it does not seem he can overtake David Raya anytime soon.
Mikel Arteta is convinced the Spaniard is the best goalkeeper at the Emirates, and the Gunners manager will continue to back him to do well for his team.
However, Ramsdale might not be happy with playing a second-string role at the club and continues to be linked with a move away.
Begovic believes Ramsdale needs to leave where he will play often. He told Talk Sport:
“Yeah, with how good Aaron is, he is too good not to play.
“I know the luxury of Arsenal and these top clubs who try to have two elite world-class goalkeepers on the books, but it gets really difficult.”
Adding:“He probably should go, he needs to go for his career and his England chances, but if Arsenal don’t let him go he’s still under contract and paying his wages so it’s a really tricky situation.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Ramsdale deserves to play more often, and the goalie will probably ask to leave us sooner than we know.
For now, he remains a key part of our squad, but we should not stand in his way if he asks to leave the club.

He’s right. For Ramsdale’s sake he should leave, the problem is that there doesn’t appear to be any clubs with a concrete interest in signing him.
Arsenal have made it more difficult for themselves by retaining him after they bought in Raya who was clearly going to be first choice. Ramsdale then spent a whole season as second choice which hasn’t done his prospects of a move now any good. He should have been sold last summer as a first-choice keeper.
Clubs don’t usually try to have two top keepers at the same time and there’s a reason – you can’t keep both happy for long. Sooner or later there’s got to be one first choice keeper.
Aaron is wise and intelligent enough to know what is good for him and the decision to make when necessary
