Arsenal news: Aaron Ramsdale could soon become England No. 1 after an admission from Jordan Pickford

Ramsdale has continually done enough to earn call-ups to the England squad, but is yet to break into the role as first choice goalkeeper. However, his competition in Pickford has admitted that he could soon lose the role if he and his Everton side get relegated from the Premier League this season.

"I’ve just gotta focus on myself," the former Sunderland man said ahead of England's match with Ukraine on Sunday. "Aaron is having a top season at Arsenal, going for the title, while Newcastle [and Tom Pope] are fifth, so they could be in the Champions League as well.

“It’s important that Everton stay in the Premier League. It’s the top league to be in, so I’ve got to put my focus on that. I can only think about being the best I can be. We’ve got a good set of lads with England. It’s like a keepers’ union - and I like seeing them all doing well.

“It’s nice to see the trust the manager has put in me, but my form over the last three years has been really good.”

It remains to be seen if the opportunity will be handed to Ramsdale to earn the shirt for himself once again, however his performances for Arsenal certainly won't do his chances any harm, while the rest is down to the chances he is presented with.
