Arsenal signed Aaron Ramsdale during the summer transfer window from Sheffield United by paying a transfer fee of £24 million.
The 23-year-old has signed a four-year contract with an option of a fifth year at the north London club, and he is expected to provide an immediate cover and competition for Bernd Leno.
The Athletic claimed that Ramsdale was signed based on Mikel Arteta’s request. Arsenal’s technical director, Edu, wanted to bring other alternatives, but Arteta pressurised the board to bring the England goalkeeper to the Emirates.
Leno has been the first-choice keeper at the club, but following a disappointing start where Arsenal lost all three of their opening games, conceding nine goals, Mikel Arteta is thinking of replacing him in the next match.
