Ranson, Arsenal's goalkeeper, expresses satisfaction with academy development

In an interview with the club's match programme, he shared his excitement about receiving a scholarship offer, calling it a significant milestone in his journey. The news, which he received in March last year, filled him with joy and determination. "Although I've been aware of this opportunity for some time now, the real work starts now," he stated confidently. He expressed his readiness to embark on a full-time football journey and face the challenges that lie ahead. Sharing the news with his family made them incredibly proud, and their unwavering support serves as a source of motivation for him.

"A standout moment in my career was saving two penalties on my England debut against Turkey. I was determined not to lose that shootout, especially after the Under-14 finals loss on penalties. 

"I’ve had the opportunity to play for both the Under-18s and 21s, which are big steps up from under-16 level. My Under-21s debut against Enfield Town was particularly memorable due to the different experience of having supporters behind me and the unique challenges of the pitch. I enjoyed it and look forward to more of these experiences this season."
