Arteta rubbishes Leno rift reports after dropping Arsenal goalkeeper for Ramsdale

 

The Gunners boss accepts the experienced performer will not be happy at losing his spot, but insists he remains thoroughly professional

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has rubbished reports suggesting Bernd Leno has reacted badly to losing his starting spot to £24 million ($33m) summer signing Aaron Ramsdale.

The Germany international goalkeeper started the 2021-22 campaign between the sticks for the Gunners, but conceded nine goals in their winless three-game opening.

Ramsdale was drafted in for the 1-0 victory over Norwich, with speculation surfacing since then regarding a supposed display of anger in training from Leno.
