Mikel Arteta says Arsenal will play “mind games” with returning goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale when it comes to set-piece routines against Southampton. Ramsdale left the Gunners this summer to join Saints in search of more game time, having lost his starting berth last season when David Raya joined Arsenal from Brentford, initially on loan.

Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale will return to the Emirates to face Arsenal, less than a year after being sold by Mikel Arteta.

Mikel Arteta has warned Aaron Ramsdale that he may resort to set-piece mind games to confuse the former Arsenal goalkeeper on his return to the Emirates. Having been deposed as Arsenal’s first-choice keeper by David Raya, Ramsdale left the club this summer to join Southampton in search of regular minutes.
