“I texted him before the game” – David Seaman opens up on what he told Aaron Ramsdale before Premier League clash against Arsenal this season

David Seaman and Aaron Ramsdale

Arsenal legend David Seaman sent English goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale a supportive message before Southhampton faced the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season.

Ramsdale joined the Saints in August 2024 from Arsenal for a reported transfer fee of £18 million. He played for the Gunners between 2021 and 2024, primarily as the first-choice goalkeeper. The Englishman made 89 appearances for the North London club, conceding 99 goals and keeping 32 clean sheets.

However, with David Raya's arrival at the Emirates, Ramsdale fell down in the pecking order and eventually joined Southampton. During his time at Arsenal, he developed a close bond with former goalkeeper David Seaman.
