How Aaron Ramsdale is viewed inside the dressing room after tough start to life at Southampton

Aaron Ramsdale has endured a sticky start to life at Southampton.

The England international is yet to taste victory for his new side – following a £18m move from Arsenal back in August – with the Saints currently sat 19th in the Premier League after seven games.

These seven outings have seen Southampton concede 15 goals, with Ramsdale – who reꦇceived a warm reception from Arsenal fans on Saturd🍬ay – responsible for 13 concessions in five outings.

The 26-year-old was an Arsenal player for the firs🐼t two Premier League games this𝓰 season.

Now, it has been revealed how Aaron Ramsdale is viewed in t🀅he Southampton dressing roo♔m after a difficult start.

A story from now focuses on how the Englishman is viewed internally at Southampton, and it sounds like he is an admired figure 🥃at the St Mar🍒y’s Stadium.

It is said that Ramsdale has already become a “big character” at Soutಞhampton and is held in high regard inside t💮he dressing room behind the scenes.

Despite the lack of a win, The Athletic add that the man from Stoke-on-Trent is loving his time at Southamptꦑon, and is pleased to have regained his position as a No.1 in the Premier League.

Arsenal will benefit financially if Russell Martin keeps Southampton in the Premier League

If Ramsdale and Russell Martin – who could soon be sacked – help Southampton stay in the ⛎Premier League, those back at tꦡhe Emirates Stadium will be pleased.

The Athletic add that Arsenal stand to receive £1m in a bonus payment if the Saints avoid relegation, so Mikel Arteta will be keen to see his old No.1 shine on t﷽he south coast, for financial reasons as well as personal reasons.

Of course, that is not a huge amount of money for the Gunners in context, but it could be put towards improvements at London Colney or the Emira🐼tes Stadium, or simply added to the bonus pot for players.

Ultimately, it would just be nice to see Ramsdale shine at Southampton on a hum💖an level, after a tough spell on the sidelines as backup to David Raya.
