Arsenal boss Arteta: Ramsdale brings competition

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is eager to get Aaron Ramsdale's signing completed.

The Sheffield United goalkeeper has passed a medical and set to ink terms with Arsenal today.

Arteta said, "It's what we want, it's always been the case a this club, we will have two different profiles and two different stages in their career. Aaron [Ramsdale] is a talented young keeper with huge experience and has international experience for England. He will bring competition and that's what we want to create - healthy competition, quality competition in every position. We identified Aaron as the ideal option."

On recovering from defeat, he said: "After a defeat the best way to put things away is to win football matches - when you win you create a different energy and environment. Our focus is to get the best possible performance and then the result will be a consequence to that.

"I think I have had bigger challenges since being here in the last 18 months. There's a lot of things that have happened."
