Arsenal legend Lauren has claimed that current Gunners goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale should be England's No.1.
Speaking to sportingpost.com, Lauren said: "A top team needs a great spine, and at the top of the spine is the Goalkeeper. Ramsdale has been brilliant all season and yesterday he made two amazing saves when it was 2-2 in a difficult moment. He’s one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League and I’m sure he’ll be pushing to start for the England national team soon.
"I also think it highlights good strategy from the club. They signed a player with great potential, and that has now become a reality. He’s been proving it all season and I think he’s one of the best in the League."
