Arsenal legend Seaman: Ramsdale is phenomenal

David Seaman has urged Aaron Ramsdale and his Arsenal team-mates to forget about history and write a new chapter for the club.

The former Gunners No1 also backed the goalkeeper to become first-choice for England.

The ex-Arsenal keeper told PA: “People forget he's only 24.

“So that is amazing for me because I didn't join Arsenal until I was 26 – what he's doing now at 24 is just phenomenal.

“There's a sign outside the dressing room, written on the wall: 'This is our time' and that's exactly what it is. It is their time right now. Never mind what's gone on before, they've got a chance of making it their time.

“The mentality is right at the club now – I think that's why you see all that excitement, especially after the last-minute goal to beat Bournemouth on Saturday.

“Everybody went crazy because they know what it means. Because there are many that haven't been there before they're so excited about it, but it's about keeping that calmness as well."
