I Tried My Best To Force My Way Back Into Arsenal’s First XI – Ramsdale

English goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale has come out to open up on his relationship with Mikel Arteta. This is coming after he left the Gunners and joined Southampton, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he did all he could to change Arteta’s mind and force his way back into the Arsenal first XI, but his heart was set on Raya remaining the number one goalkeeper at the club.

Ramsdale added that he is now found a new home and he looks forward to playing more football.

His words, “I tried my best to change his mind and force my way back in. His mind was set and at the same time David had a great season. You can have all the upset or qualms about being taken out but when someone else is delivering, you’ve just got to take it on the chin. It was tough but I’ve found a new home and I’m looking forward to playing again. You move on, there’s no bad blood and you’ve got to restart your career again. It was a really difficult season but my character and personality, I started the game by enjoying it but when it gets taken away, it’s tough. That’s why unfortunately you have to move on but I’m happy about where I’m at now.”

WOW.
