Ahead of January, one Arsenal player has now been warned about his lack of minutes at the club, something that could have an important consequence.

According to the Evening Standard, Aaron Ramsdale has been warned that he could be at risk of losing his England spot.

The report has stated that the Arsenal keeper has been warned by Gareth Southgate regarding his lack of minutes ahead of January, a situation that puts his Euro 2024 spot in doubt.

Moreover, whilst the goalkeeper may have been willing to stay and fight for his spot, this could cause the situation to change.

Nick Pope’s lengthy injury at Newcastle United could also have a big impact.

Not only are Newcastle now being linked with a January move for Ramsdale, Pope may also still be absent for England next summer.

The latter is bound to be a close call, but could strengthen Ramsdale’s chances of being in the squad even if he remains as Mikel Arteta’s number two.

Furthermore, the goalkeeper may not even be stressed about the Euros next summer, perhaps preferring to focus on his long-term situation.

Jordan Pickford looks nailed on to start at the tournament, so all this speculation would just be for a spot on the bench.

It’s certainly a complicated one, and a situation that is attracting a lot of opinions.

But ultimately only Ramsdale will know how he’s feeling right now, a keeper who must still be relatively shocked to lose his place at the Emirates.

Since signing for £24m, Ramsdale has done immensely well, making so much progress from his days of playing for relegated sides.

Now a solid England international, not many Arsenal fans foresaw this situation.

Nonetheless, they will surely understand if Ramsdale does seek an exit, something that currently seems undecided.

But given Southgate has now warned the Arsenal goalkeeper, the situation may move fast in January.

That being said, Ramsdale is not the only high profile name now being linked with an exit
