Aaron Ramsdale can be consistent over long period for Arsenal claims Nigel Winterburn.
The Gunners coughed up £24m to sign the young Englishman from Sheffield United this summer.
He has pulled off a decent number of saves this season and projected his commanding presence in the penalty box.
Winterburn warns Arsenal to not get carried away with his performance.
“I watched Ramsdale a fair bit last season for Sheffield United. I have openly said that I wondered how much of a step up he was on Leno. That was my question at the start of the season, but since he’s come in, he’s been outstanding,” Winterburn told FreeSuperTips.
“One thing I do really like about him is that he seems to take command of his area. He doesn’t punch a lot, he catches as well. I think that relieves pressure and gives confidence to your defenders.
“I think that the back four and the goalkeeper bring confidence. That starts to transmit around the rest of the team because maybe if you’re not playing quite well enough, you know you’re not going to concede a lot. So if we can nick a goal, we are at least going to get a draw, and if not we’re probably going to get a victory.
“I love what I’m seeing with the back four and the goalkeeper. I think there’s some great unity there between them.
“But that’s over a short period of time, we want to be seeing this over an extended period of time. Why did people talk about David Seaman so much?
“Because of the longevity he produced, week-in, week-out, season after season after season. We want to hope with Ramsdale now we’ve got a goalkeeper who can do that.”
