Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale hasn’t taken long to silence his doubters since arriving at the Emirates.

The Gunners signed the 23-year-old from Sheffield United in the summer for a reported £30million.

Ramsdale’s arrival in north London was met with a mixed reception by the Arsenal fanbase.

Some questioned his credentials over his consecutive relegations with the Blades and Bournemouth, while others thought it was a high fee for an apparent back-up.

However, Ramsdale hasn’t taken long to not only become first-choice at Arsenal, but to become a bona fide fan favourite.

Mikel Arteta’s charges began the season poorly, losing their first three Premier League games and not scoring a single goal.

However, they’ve now embarked on a nine-match unbeaten run, with Ramsdale’s efforts crucial to the cause.

On Saturday, Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners over Leicester at the King Power.

Ramsdale was simply sensational, making a string of saves including a world-class stop from a James Maddison free kick.

Arsenal legend David Seaman was blown away by Ramsdale’s stop:

And Peter Schmeichel, one of the greatest goalkeepers in recent times, had even higher praise:

The result means Arsenal are now on 17 points, just three behind third-placed Manchester City.
