The concerning bad Ramsdale record that has made Arteta chase for a new goalkeeper
Arsenal have been pretty busy in this summer transfer window and they could add on a new goalkeeper before it closes as Arteta sets out for a new goalkeeper to compete with Aaron Ramsdale.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly set his sights on strengthening the goalkeeper position in the summer transfer market. The decision comes as a result of a concerning statistic surrounding current Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. According to data analysts, Ramsdale conceded 2.2 goals more than the average Premier League goalkeeper would have been expected to save during the 2022-23 Premier League season.
Last season was considered a successful one for Arsenal, as they finished second in the Premier League table. However, their defensive record left much to be desired, with a total of 43 goals conceded throughout the campaign. This statistic highlights the need for improvement in the goalkeeping department and may have prompted Arteta’s pursuit of a new shot-stopper.
In light of this, Arsenal has reportedly made a move for 27-year-old Brentford goalkeeper David Raya. The intention is for Raya to come in and compete with Ramsdale for the number one spot at the club. Raya’s impressive performances for Brentford have caught Arteta’s attention, making him an attractive option to bolster Arsenal’s defensive line.
The decision to target Raya suggests that Arteta is determined to address the issue of conceding avoidable goals. By bringing in competition for Ramsdale, Arteta aims to push his current goalkeeper to improve and potentially find a more reliable option between the sticks.
A solid and dependable goalkeeper is crucial for any team aspiring to challenge for major honors. With Arsenal aiming to build on their success from last season and mount a serious title challenge, it is essential that they address any weaknesses within their squad.
The pursuit of David Raya indicates that Mikel Arteta recognizes the importance of shoring up his defense and reducing unnecessary goals conceded. By making moves in the transfer market, Arsenal hopes to rectify this issue and provide themselves with a stronger foundation moving forward into next season.
