The father of Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale admits he's downbeat over his current situation.

Ramsdale has lost his first-choice status to summer arrival David Raya this season.

And his father told The Highbury Squad: “Aaron's lost that smile to when he was holding onto that ball at this moment in time.

“And it is difficult. It really is difficult to see him there and we all keep saying you need to keep smiling."

He went on to say: “Aaron is working as hard as he can. He's trying to do his best for the squad. He's upbeat and he'll do everything for Arsenal to try and win the league."
