Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has singled out goalkeeper Bernd Leno for praise in his battle with regular first-team ‘keeper Aaron Ramsdale this season. The 30-year-old has struggled for minutes this season, dropping down the pecking order.
Ramsdale, 23, joined last summer from Sheffield United for roughly £25million and made the jump back into Premier League football smoothly. His fine form has kept the Gunners in many games this season and even earned him an international call-up for England.
However, this has meant that Leno, once a regular on the team sheet, has had to deputise and often start on the bench. With his contract running until 2023, there is plenty of speculation over his future.
