Jordan Pickford is facing stiff competition from Aaron Ramsdale this year.
The England number one keeper has been exceptional this season despite Everton’s poor run of form.
He is facing increasing competition from Nick Pope and Aaron Ramsdale and is being pushed for his spot in the England team.
Aaron Ramsdale has been instrumental in Arteta’s squad since his arrival and has been getting more recognition globally.
He has already shown that he is ready for the highest level of football at Arsenal.
Pickford said to The Daily Mail: ‘There are always people trying to chase you and get that spot off you so it’s about keeping pushing boundaries.
‘I think it’s better for me when Rammers is pushing because that’s pushing me to go even further to get even better.
‘I feel I’ve been pushed all the time with Popey [Nick Pope], Deano [Henderson], Rammers, Sam [Johnstone].
‘I appreciate the manager’s loyalty. I’ve known him since the Under 21s and I was there when he got the job with the seniors so yes he’s stuck by me.’
