Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has revealed that England teammates Conor Coady and Trent Alexander-Arnold have tried to joke around about the Gunners' position in the Premier League table. It comes after the side have made an ideal start to life during the early stages of the season, sitting top of the division.
Mikel Arteta has guided his squad to 12 wins from 14 games played so far, building a huge five point gap to champions Manchester City in second. It has put Arsenal firmly in the discussion for a title push this season, however a mid-season break for the World Cup may change things drastically.
"We are today, but in football, today and tomorrow is very different. So let’s enjoy the time," Arteta said when asked if his side were in the race, having previously been coy on such discussions. "Do something: just look at the last six years, what Manchester City have done. With the best manager in the world, the best team in the world. They have shown it consistently in every single competition. We have to be very, very respectful of that."
