'I don't think I've ever been more wrong': Jamie Carragher names one Arsenal player who made him change his initial prediction

Speaking on Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher said: "Listen, we all say different things at different times. I don't think I've ever been more wrong, or certainly this season proven wrong, than by Aaron Ramsdale.

"I watched him at times obviously with different teams where he goes down, you see lots of goals go in, you think, 'Can the keeper do better there?' And then when Arsenal bought him I was scratching my head.

"I'll be honest, I could not believe it when they bought him. But how he's overtaken Bernd Leno — he's had to move on — and his position in the England squad now as well. The role he has, not just as a goalkeeper, he's a personality.

"The crowd feeds off him. You see his reaction when Mohamed Salah missed the penalty, he's right in his face. He's fast, he's confident, he's cocky. As I've said, I can’t believe role he has played in this Arsenal title charge."

Ramsdale arrived at Arsenal in the summer of 2021 for an initial fee of £24 million after Sheffield United were relegated from the Premier League.

The England international went on to quickly establish himself as the fist-choice goalkeeper at the Emirates, making the transfer a massive success.
