Transfer: Sharp Warns Arsenal Player Could Leave Emirates After Being Dropped by Mikel Arteta
Former Sheffield United star, Billy Sharp has warned that Aaron Ramsdale may look to leave Arsenal after being dropped by manager Mikel Arteta amid the ongoing January transfer window.
Ramsdale has become Arsenal’s cup competition goalkeeper after being displaced by David Raya as Arteta’s first-choice shot-stopper.
The Englishman, who was Arsenal’s No.1 last season, has made nine appearances across competitions this term, keeping three clean sheets.
However, there are question marks over his future due to his current situation at the Gunners.
But Sharp, who was a former teammate with Ramsdale at Sheffield United, gave his opinion on the goalkeeper’s situation.
He told talkSPORT: “It is one of them. It is football, it is cut-throat at times. I think they wanted to sign Raya before Ramsdale. They didn’t get him so they got Rammers.
“When you have got two goalkeepers who want to be No. 1, it is always going to be the case. I think he [Ramsdale] would probably want to move but Arsenal probably don’t want to see him go because he is a top-quality goalkeeper.”
