Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted that he will have to resolve a backup star's future in the summer.

Arteta was asked about goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who is set to start at the weekend against Brentford.

Ramsdale is the no.2 behind David Raya, who is on loan from the Bees with an option to buy that Arsenal will take up.

Per Arteta, talks over Ramsdale's future will happen in the offseason, as he stated: "The connection, on a personal level, goes both ways very much.

"I am really happy to make the call that we made as a club to sign him, because it was very controversial to start with.

“We helped a lot to change his career in a really powerful way. I am really happy that he came here and he has done what he has done for us so far."

"Now is the season, now is tomorrow, now is what we have done today and how can we improve tomorrow," Arteta added.

"And those talks are for much after, I think."
