Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has explained his reasoning behind the signing of Aaron Ramsdale.
The highly rated young goalkeeper has joined from Sheffield United, despite the Gunners having Bernd Leno as their present no.1.
While Ramsdale may have some work to do to gain the starting spot at the Emirates Stadium club, Arteta believes he is someone who can improve and possibly push Leno to greater heights.
Arteta told the club's website: "With Aaron I spoke to him a few times before he signed and I was really impressed with his personality, his character.
"We need two goalkeepers, two top goalkeepers in this club, it's always been the case and when I was here we always had two really good goalkeepers with different qualities and different age profiles and they need to compete.
"That's what we want in every situation. Every role we want people to compete and the goalkeeper situation is no different."
