Gunners legend Thierry Henry has given his thoughts on the goalkeeping situation under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal.

Thierry Henry has advised Aaron Ramsdale to leave Arsenal if he is not ready to fight for the spot he lost to David Raya.

Ramsdale established himself as Mikel Arteta's first choice last season and had a successful campaign keeping 15 clean sheets in 41 appearances across all competitions.

However, after starting Arsenal's first 5 games,  Ramsdale lost his starting spot to new signing Raya.

Henry says Ramsdale must compete or leave Arsenal

“I am not the coach of Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta went to get Raya, a guy that he thinks will win him the title,” Henry said on The Rest is Football Podcast.

"Ramsdale was seen as the guy to get us in the top four again, and Bernd Leno went to Fulham. “That is the story of football. If you don’t compete, someone is going to come.” He continued

 “If you take Phil Foden, he is a very good player but Manchester City keep buying players. You are at a big club and that is how it is, and if you are not happy at the big club, then you have got to go.”
