Former Arsenal player Ian Wright has weighed in on the potential of Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale securing a starting spot at Tottenham Hotspur ahead of Guglielmo Vicario.
Wright expressed skepticism about Ramsdale’s chances, asserting that the £24 million goalkeeper might not even start for Tottenham. Meanwhile, Darren Bent, an Arsenal fan and former Tottenham Hotspur striker, sympathizes with Ramsdale’s situation. Despite Ramsdale starting the season as Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper, David Raya has since taken over.
Speculation surrounds a possible permanent deal for Raya, currently on loan from Brentford. Bent believes Ramsdale would find starting opportunities at clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle United but doubts his chances at Tottenham. Bent praises Tottenham’s Vicario as “different class” and one of the standout players for the North London club this season.
Bent suggests that Ramsdale could play for various Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Newcastle United. However, when it comes to Tottenham, Bent insists that Vicario’s exceptional performance makes it unlikely for Ramsdale to secure a starting position. Despite the challenges, the talkSPORT pundit advises Ramsdale to remain patient at Arsenal and not hastily decide his future. He encourages the England international goalkeeper to believe in his abilities and continue fighting for a place in the team. The suggestion is for Ramsdale to stay at Arsenal for the remainder of the season before considering a move if opportunities don’t materialize.
