Mikel Arteta praises Aaron Ramsdale as Arsenal's bid for David Raya is denied.
Aaron Ramsdale has been an impressive addition for Arsenal since his £30 million move from Sheffield United two years ago. Last weekend, after Arsenal's victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield, Mikel Arteta was asked if Ramsdale has felt under pressure to perform. Arteta responded by saying that competition within the squad is a must and that it is something he will ensure.

This comes as Arsenal have recently submitted an offer to Brentford for goalkeeper David Raya. The bid was lower than his £40m valuation, however, and is expected to be rejected. Arteta further commented on Ramsdale's performance against City, saying that he was "great" and that practising penalties in pre-season was the key to their success. He also alluded to the disappointment in their match against Manchester United where they had failed to make any penalty saves.
