Arteta told to let this player leave

Former Manchester City defender, Micah Richards has sent a message to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta over goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Richards advised the Gunners manager to let Ramsdale leave the club and go somewhere he would be appreciated.

The former defender opined that Arteta should have sold Ramsdale in the summer transfer window after they 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.”

As of now, Ramsedale and Raya are battling for who should be Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper this season.
