Bukayo Saka has revealed that one Arsenal star ‘keeps surprising everyone’ with his outstanding performances since arriving at the club over the summer.
Plenty of eyebrows were raised when the Gunners splashed out £30million for Aaron Ramsdale back in August, given the England squad man’s relative lack of the top-level experience. He was also signed from Sheffield United, who suffered relegation from the top flight last season.
However, Ramsdale has since ousted Bernd Leno as Arsenal’s No.1 and was in inspired form as Mikel Arteta’s men won 2-0 at Leicester over the weekend.
Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel said Ramsdale’s flying save to keep out James Maddison’s free-kick was the ‘best he had seen in years’, and Saka has revealed how he assumed the free-kick was ‘100 per cent’ heading for the corner before his brilliant team-mate tipped the ball onto the crossbar.
“From my angle, it was 100 per cent a goal and then he saved it,” the England attacker said.
