Mikel Arteta has denied Aaron Ramsdale's Arsenal dream amid difficult David Raya dilemma

Arsenal's situation with goalkeepers Aaron Ramsdale and David Raya has continued to dominate the headlines in recent weeks after Mikel Arteta's decision to change his first-choice number one.

Since 2021,Ramsdale has been the main main inbetween the sticks having replaced Bernd Leno. However, Raya's summer move from Brentford to provide competition has placed his future in north London into doubt.

Ramsdale had played in the first four games of the season but has only managed to appear once in the last five weeks with Raya being preferred. The decision to use the Spaniard has been heavily criticised in recent weeks after a handful of errors.

After seeing his error against RC Lens result in a goal, Raya was lobbed by Mykhailo Mudryk in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea after poor positioning. Raya's performance in the Champions League against Sevilla also provided some question marks, resulting in further calls for Ramsdale to return.

Arteta's decision to sign a new goalkeeper has caused endless problems for the Gunners, with every Raya performance under the spotlight at the moment. The arrival of the Brentford loanee has also put paid to Ramsdale's dream of playing in the Champions League, for now at least.

In July, the goalkeeper spoke toTNT Sports about wanting to be involved in the club's long-awaited return to the competition. “I can kind of understand what it's about and everyone wants to play in it,” he said. “You want to be involved in it and hear that magical music at the start.
