Mikel Arteta insists he wants to keep Aaron Ramsdale \u2013 but refused to rule out the England goalkeeper leaving Arsenal in January.<\/p>\n
Ramsdale lost his position as Arteta\u2019s first-choice goalkeeper earlier this season following the arrival of David Raya on loan from Brentford.<\/p>\n
Since September 3, Ramsdale has made just three appearances \u2013 two of which came in the Carabao Cup, with his one Premier League game in that time coming with Raya ineligible against the Bees.<\/p>\n

With his place at Euro 2024 in the balance as he continues to warm the bench at the Emirates Stadium, Ramsdale\u2019s future is seemingly up in the air.<\/p>\n
Arteta recently urged Ramsdale to be patient over any decision, saying the situation could look very different in March.<\/p>\n
A shoulder injury to England colleague Nick Pope, however, could see Newcastle in the market for another goalkeeper in January.<\/p>\n
Asked if he would be open to selling Ramsdale to Newcastle, Arteta replied: \u201cI want Aaron with us.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very happy to have two very, very good goalkeepers and Aaron is staying with us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to be better, so we want to add to what we already have. That\u2019s the intention that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n
But, when pushed on whether he would categorically rule out a January switch for Ramsdale, the Spaniard added: \u201cI won\u2019t do that to any player. Any player.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot tell you that any Arsenal player is not going to leave in January. Or he is to stay here for the next three years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t say that no player is going to go to Newcastle. Or no member of the staff either. I won\u2019t say it. If you say yes or no, I won\u2019t say it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot guarantee that nobody is going to be leaving in January. For Newcastle or any other club. So it is a no.\u201d<\/p>\n
