Henry advises this goalkeeper to leave Arsenal

Former Arsenal star, Thierry Henry has issued an advice to Aaron Ramsdale to consider a future away from the club after the goalkeeper lost his spot in the starting squad to David Raya.

Recall that Ramsdale became Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s first-choice goalkeeper last season, as a replacement for  Bernd Leno, who left Arsenal to join Fulham.

Ramsdale impressed for the Gunners keeping 15 clean sheets in 41 appearances across competitions for Arsenal and helping the team qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

However, he lost his place to Raya, who moved to Arsenal from Brentford this season.

And Henry believes Ramsdale must either be willing to fight for game time with Raya or move to another club in January.

“I am not the coach of Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta went to get a guy [Raya] that he thinks will win him the title,” Henry said on the Rest is Football Podcast (via Tribal Football).

“[Aaron] Ramsdale was seen as the guy to get us in the top four again, and Bernd Leno went to Fulham.

“That is the story of football. I can understand with the new generation but there is something that will never change at a big club, you have got to compete. If you don’t compete, someone is going to come.”

He continued, “If you take Phil Foden, he is a very good player but Manchester City keep buying players. You are at a big club and that is how it is, and if you are not happy at the big club, then you have got to go.”
