Brendan Rodgers reveals the one Arsenal player he doesn't want to play against again

Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has revealed that Brendan Rodgers told him that he never wants to play against him again.

Some eyebrows were raised when the north Londoners splashed in excess of £24million on Ramsdale last summer, with the former Sheffield United shot-stopper expected by many to be Bernd Leno's no.2 this season. However, the 23-year-old replaced the German international in Mikel Arteta's starting XI for the fourth Premier League match of the 2021/22 campaign and he hasn't looked back since.

Registering 12 clean sheets across 30 league matches, Ramsdale has now established himself as an England international whilst being one of the Gunners' most important players over the last 12 months - helping them to fourth in the current standings. Now, he has revealed that Leicester City boss Rodgers claimed he is too good to play against following a wonder save during a 2-0 win against the Foxes back in March.
