Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column, Romano stated that Ramsdale’s father expressing concern for his son during a podcast is not necessarily something that points to any change in the player’s situation.
Ramsdale’s dad Nick admitted he’s seen his son lose his smile after losing his place to David Raya in the Gunners starting line up, and Romano has also said that this is a difficult moment for the England international.
Ramsdale was the clear first choice for Arsenal last season and mostly performed quite well, so some fans and pundits will have been surprised when Raya was signed on loan from Brentford, almost immediately overtaking Ramsdale as first choice.

Aaron Ramsdale is enduring a difficult time at Arsenal
Still, it seems Ramsdale remains determined to fight for his place at Arsenal, according to the latest information from Romano.
“I think this is a normal response from the player’s father – it’s not his agent, it’s not something that points towards any negotiations or efforts to leave Arsenal,” Romano explained.
“He obviously wants to see Aaron happy but right now it’s a difficult moment. Still, my understanding remains the same as earlier this week – Ramsdale wants to fight for his place at Arsenal, at the moment there are no negotiations with any other club.”
