Ramsdale's nervy night shows exit door is looming

But Arsenal won't sanction January move

- Simon Collings

WHEN the full-time whistle went at Brentford on Saturday, it was not match-winner Kai Havertz that the Arsenal players ran to congratulate.

Instead, they made a beeline for Aaron Ramsdale, who eventually broke out in a smile after a difficult evening.

The goalkeeper kept a clean sheet as Arsenal won 1-0, but his performance will not have made Mikel Arteta doubt his decision to make David Raya his new No1.

If anything, Saturday only added to the feeling that Ramsdale is surely heading for the Arsenal exit door at some stage, because the current situation feels unsustainable.
