Last season David Raya replaced 26-year-old Ramsdale as the Gunners’ number one.

The former Bournemouth and Sheffield ******* keeper made just six Premier League appearances that season, but has started Southampton’s past four top-flight matches.

“If I was sitting on the bench, it [winning a trophy] wouldn’t have meant that much to me,” Ramsdale told BBC One’s Football Focus when asked about his move.

Southampton, in 19th, travel to third-placed Arsenal in their next match on Saturday, 5 October (15:00 BST).
