Mikel Arteta suggests that he will look to confuse Aaron Ramsdale with set-piece plans as former Arsenal goalkeeper returns to Emirates Stadium with Southampton

Mikel Arteta quipped he will play mind games with Aaron Ramsdale in a bid to confuse him on Arsenal’s set-piece plans as he returns to the Emirates with Southampton today.

The goalkeeper left the Gunners over the summer in a four-year deal worth up to £25million, having largely occupied the bench after losing his starting spot to David Raya near the start of last season.

The 26-year-old spent three years with the north London club and was named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year for the 2022-23 season after helping Arsenal to the cusp of the title.
