Former Liverpool player Danny Murphy believes Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has already told incoming Arsenal signing David Raya he will replace Aaron Ramsdale as his No.



1 goalkeeper at the Emirates.

Raya is set to join Arsenal on a season-long loan from Brentford with an option to buy for £27 million next summer.

He will bolster Arteta’s goalkeeping options after Ramsdale’s Deputy from last season, Matt Turner, moved to Premier League rival Nottingham Forest.

But Murphy reckons Arteta has told Raya he is being signed to be Arsenal’s No. 1 and will replace Ramsdale ‘pretty soon’.

“It’s a really difficult one because most clubs don’t have two equally good goalkeepers,” Murphy said on the FIVE YouTube channel.
“For obvious reasons, that doesn’t work. This insecurity kicks in with goalkeepers if they think they could get replaced every weekend.
“I’m surprised because I thought Aaron Ramsdale was brilliant last season. I really like him and his character. I think he’s done so well, so I feel for him a bit.
“When you sit down with a player and pay £30 million for him, do you think David Raya thinks he’s coming as the No. 2? I think he’s been told he will be No. 1.
“I am a bit bamboozled by this one. If Arteta has decided Raya will be No. 1, then fair play to him. But if he’s bringing him in to compete, he’s causing Ramsdale a bigger problem than he needed to.
“Ramsdale is too good to be No. 2, and so is Raya. I think Raya is Mikel Arteta’s No. 1. I think Ramsdale will start the season for Arsenal, but Raya will replace him pretty soon.”
