Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reiterated that he has no intention to let Aaron Ramsdale leave the club this winter.
The Gunners have demoted Ramsdale to the position of no.2 goalkeeper this season.
The Spaniard David Raya is the no.1 for Arteta since arriving in the summer from Brentford.
Ahead of the team’s trip to Luton Town, Arteta told TribalFootball that Ramsdale is willing to fight for his shirt.

“I want Aaron with us. I am very happy to have two very very good goalkeepers and Aaron is staying with us.
“I have spoken to him. He’s willing to play.
“Like any player, he wants to play for Arsenal. That’s what he wants to do. Then the other is a consequence. And as well for England it’s not like he has started a lot of games, so hopefully we can help him be better here so then he can play for England.”
Ramsdale began his senior club career playing for Sheffield United and signed for AFC Bournemouth in 2017. Following successive loans to Chesterfield and AFC Wimbledon, Ramsdale played a season with Bournemouth and re-joined Sheffield United in a transfer worth an initial £18 million.
In 2021, Ramsdale signed for Arsenal in a club record transfer worth up to £30 million, becoming their most expensive goalkeeper.
Ramsdale has represented England at all levels from under-18 to the senior team, and won the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in 2017, and was in the squad that finished as runners-up at UEFA Euro 2020.
