Mikel Arteta has warned Aaron Ramsdale that he may resort to set-piece mind games to confuse the former Arsenal goalkeeper on his return to the Emirates. Having been deposed as Arsenal’s first-choice keeper by David Raya, Ramsdale left the club this summer to join Southampton in search of regular minutes.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal will play “mind games” with returning goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale when it comes to set-piece routines against Southampton. Ramsdale left the Gunners this summer to join Saints in search of more game time, having lost his starting berth last season when David Raya joined Arsenal from Brentford, initially on loan.

Aaron Ramsdale swapped Arsenal for Southampton in a £25million transfer in the summer - but was still given a warm reception by the Gunners faithful on his return to the Emirates Stadium
