There has been no animosity between Ramsdale and Raya. Arteta and Cana are happy with both players as options, who they view as excellent, and the level of training has surged as the ‘keepers push each other to perform better’.

Ramsdale is incredibly popular at Arsenal and has received expressions of support from senior players.

    My only gripe with this situation is that Cana wanted Raya before Ramsdale so there may be a bit of selection bias in how Cana describes training performance of Raya over Ramsdale to justify his previous recommendation to Arteta.

      Also that the entire goalkeeper coaching staff is Spanish - must be a bit frustrating for Ramsdale if there’s bias there

        I mean tbf, isn’t basically our entire staff spanish for the most part? Is that unfair to outfield players who are english?
