Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hails development of 'exceptional' Aaron Ramsdale

Mikel Arteta praised Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for the 'exceptional' progress the player has made during his time at the north London club.

Now a vital force in Arsenal's Premier League title charge, Ramsdale previously suffered relegation during spells at Bournemouth and Sheffield United.

Ramsdale was on superb form during the Gunners' 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield, with the Reds holding the England international's feet to the fire and forcing him into a number of heroic saves to keep the tie level.

Speaking ahead of Arsenal's London derby against West Ham on Sunday, Arteta said Ramsdale's career had come 'against the odds'.
