Aaron Ramsdale has been a brilliant upgrade to Arsenal’s goalkeeping role since his arrival. He swiftly usurped Bernd Leno into the position not only for his characteristically stronger distribution but he also proved to be a solid shot-stopper.
Ramsdale has gained something of a cult following, much thanks to his comedic antics between the sticks and virally trending clips where he interacts with the away supporters. From joining in with scathing chants about himself to picking up spare change lobbed at him from the seats behind him, Ramsdale is a character that the club are thankful to have.
So much so that a new contract for the current Arsenal number one represents just how good he has been after less than two full seasons. It further outlines his integration into the club and how much he has become a part of the club’s fabric.
