Mikel Arteta talking about replacing Aaron Ramsdale with David Raya 🧠:
🗣️ "I was very convinced we had to make a change, but not because Aaron didn’t have the quality. I believed that to go to the next level, we needed a different profile of goalkeeper.
Changing the keeper from Ramsdale to Raya was very difficult to explain internally and externally, because maybe it did not make sense to everyone.
Edu asked me if I was 100% sure. He told me I was going to expose myself, and I knew that, but I still wanted to do it."
