Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has shared his critical views on the current system of goalkeeper rotation at the club. Known for his successful tenure at Arsenal, Wenger doesn’t believe in this approach or in the hierarchy of goalkeepers, stating, “I don’t believe in the rotation of goalkeepers. I don’t believe in the hierarchy of goalkeepers. They don’t work.”

Wenger has personally expressed his preference for Aaron Ramsdale as Arsenal’s top goalkeeper and offered words of encouragement, saying, “If I were in his place, I wouldn’t give up. I believe he has a chance to return to Arsenal’s first-choice position.”

The legendary coach’s comments add an interesting dimension to the ongoing discussions surrounding Arsenal’s goalkeeping situation. With Wenger’s vast experience and influence in the football world, his perspective may carry significant weight, potentially impacting the club’s decisions regarding their goalkeepers. Ramsdale, who has made an impressive start at Arsenal, will likely take heart from Wenger’s support as he continues to vie for the coveted first-choice role.
