AARON RAMSDALE has been urged to leave Arsenal in the summer.
Premier League legend Andy Cole believes that the England international has been "mugged off" by manager Mikel Arteta.
Ramsdale, 25, was the Gunners' first-choice goalkeeper last season but was replaced in the summer.
Arteta opted to sign David Raya on an initial loan deal from Brentford, and he has since replaced the Englishman.
The manager originally claimed that the two stoppers would be rotated but Raya has become the undisputed first-choice.
Cole, 52, believes that Ramsdale should seek pastures new this summer and has suggested that Newcastle could be a good move.
Cole told Betfred: "Nine times out of ten, when a player moves to a different club, they’re meant to be their new club’s number one centre-forward, centre-half, goalkeeper or whatever it may be.
"If Aaron makes the move, he will be Newcastle’s number one goalkeeper.
"I think he’s been hard done by, I really do.
"He was so good for Arsenal last season and then all of a sudden, Mikel Arteta has gone out and got a new goalkeeper and initially claimed that he had two number ones, which was complete nonsense from day one.
"The way he’s disregarded Ramsdale has been really disrespectful.
"He’s mugged him off basically.
"I like how he goes about his business and he deserves to be treated with a bit more respect, so if he does move on from Arsenal, then he certainly would do a good job at Newcastle."
Ramsdale has only made 11 appearances in all competitions this season.
He has kept three clean sheets and conceded 12 goals in that time.
Raya is expected to become a permanent Arsenal player in the summer.
Meanwhile, Arteta has told Ramsdale to wait until summer to have discussions about his future.
He said: "Now is the season, now is tomorrow, now is what we have done today and how can we improve tomorrow.
"And those talks are for much after, I think."

I’ve never been impressed by him, he makes too many costly blunders and he’s never saved a penalty

Without taking anything away from David Raya, could you please imagine what Ramsdale's statistics would be if he had the pair of Saliba and Gabriel for as long as the former had

Because ramsdale has fewer games
when he had more games last season, did you not see how many goals he conceded? And how many mistakes that he made that led to goals? Even in this 6 games, he still made mistakes leading to goals in Fulham and Brentford games. So no sentiment in business my brother. He is paid for what he does. He needs to improve.

Pundits and ex-players like this are the ones not helping Ramsdale understand that he really needs to improve. He is still young and at 25 has a long way in his career. No doubt leaving can help him and will help him but it will be wrong to suggest to him that he was disrespected. I am sure he must have had words with his manager and trainers. So these pundits should keep their advice to themselves.

Then let the coach free the keeper to search a playing time. That's what the English man saying. Ramsdale was good last season very solid in that goalpost..so my Question is that why the coach changed him for someone? i think he should changed him if he wasn't good enough to be the number 1 for season. so but i think there is a biasness?
