Arsenal legend Seaman compares Ramsdale journey with own career path

Arsenal legend David Seaman sees similarities between Aaron Ramsdale's career and his own.

Ramsdale was signed from Sheffield United this summer to provide competition for Bernd Leno in the Arsenal goals.

Seaman joined the Gunners from QPR in 1990 and went on to become a club legend.

He told TalkSport: "There's a lot of similarities to when I joined Arsenal. I was England's number three at the World Cup in 1990, Ramsdale has done the same. I started getting a load of stick because the fans didn't want me.

"They were all singing 'Lukic is better than Seaman' and 'You'll never play for Arsenal'. There are some similarities and hopefully, he will go on to have a very good career at Arsenal. He's still learning, you can see that.

"Will he walk into the team? I don't think so. I think what he's got to do is get in training, impress the manager and get the respect of the lads as well."
