Last summer signalled the beginning of the end for Bernd Leno at Arsenal. The club secured Aaron Ramsdale’s signature in a move that has since been proven brilliant. They received a young goalkeeper who excels as not only a shot-stopper, but with his distribution, too – a requirement growing in importance under Arteta.
