Aaron Ramsdale: Arsenal keeper too good to be a number two, says David Seaman

Aaron Ramsdale "is too good to be a number two" for Arsenal, says former Gunners goalkeeper David Seaman.

Ramsdale has been competing with David Raya since the Brentford keeper's loan move to north London in the summer.

Spain's Raya has been favoured in the Premier League by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, making eight appearances to Ramsdale's four.

Ramsdale, 25, was an unused substitute in England's final Euro 2024 qualifier in North Macedonia on Monday.

"If he's not playing [for Arsenal], it's going to affect his [England] chances," Seaman, who has an informal coaching role at the Gunners, told BBC Radio 5 Live.
