English football pundit and former England defender, Jamie Carragher has told Arsenal goalkeeper, Aaron Ramsdale to leave the club in the January transfer window.
Carragher gave the advice while speaking on Sky Sports after Ramsdale sat on the bench for the third time in a row during Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Prior to the derby game, Gunners’ new goalkeeper, David Raya made his debut for the North London outfit in their Premier League 1-0 win over Everton and was in goal in Arsenal’s 4-0 demolition of PSV in the UEFA Champions League group game on Wednesday night.
Speaking on the development, the Liverpool legend suggested that Ramsdale was being fake after his reaction to Raya’s key save during Arsenal’s game against their bitter rivals, Tottenham.

He went on to say the England international will be ‘absolutely devastated’ after losing his position.
Carragher further said he does not think Ramsdale will be back in the team as the first choice keeper and urged him to move on.
He said: “I think he [Aaron] will be [leaving in January], if he got an opportunity at a decent club and Arsenal were happy with that.
“He has not done badly at Arsenal. He’s done really well and better than a lot of people thought he would.
“I think Arsenal will be looking at it and thinking they could get a few quid for him. It could be something that happens in January.
“You never have two goalkeepers at the same level at a club, especially top ‘keepers.”
“I really admire Arteta for doing it. It’s ruthless, I get that. But to be honest, I don’t see Ramsdale getting back into the team. Raya is the No.1 and Ramsdale will have to move on. If he can get out in January and Arsenal can get a good fee, it could happen.”
On Ramsdale’s reaction to Raya’s save, Carragher added, “You know when someone loses the Oscar and they are clapping and smiling for the other person? I was laughing when I saw that. He’ll be absolutely devastated.”
