Ramsdale was a regular in the previous two campaigns, as Arsenal went close to securing their first Premier League title since 2004.
He has been popular with the fans, but a clip has resurfaced that supporters are convinced with the beginning of the end for the goalkeeper.
The shot-stopper revealed his reasoning behind some often bizarre antics in an interview with Gunners legend Wright.
“If you ask me to focus on a game of football for 90 minutes I’m finished. I can’t do it,” he told Wright and UK rapper Bugzy Malone on Behind The Game.
“So that’s why I get involved with the fans and I sing along with the songs. Someone’s giving me abuse, I’ll turn around and give them a bit back.
“I have had my two/three minutes of sort of madness in my head – straight back to the football. I’ve got 10/15 minutes of pure concentration again. Next thing you know, half-time is around.”
Wright’s face clearly said it all after being left astounded by Ramsdale’s claims, with his mouth open and looking stunned.
The clip has resurfaced on social media with one fan saying: “This interview was the beginning of the end for Ramsdale. How do you publicly say that you find it difficult to concentrate during games? Even Ian Wright was shocked! This is what happens when you talk too much.”
Another said: “Ramsdale‘s mistake was the interview with Ian Wright, where he said that he can’t stay concentrated for 90 minutes. And we all know Arteta. He wants that his player are 90 minutes in the game. That was Ramsdale‘s biggest mistake imo.”
A third wrote: “Wright was like ‘You cannot be saying that on Camara Ramsdale!’ His mouth wide open! It’s getting obvious everyday why Arteta bought Raya.”
Ramsdale is now playing second fiddle, despite keeping 14 clean sheets and winning two save of the month awards last season.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has opted to stick with fellow countryman Raya, who joined the club on loan from Brentford in the summer.
That’s despite the Spaniard making a number of mistakes since taking over as No.1.
Ramsdale has made just two appearances since losing his place in September, both against Brentford and West Ham in the Carabao Cup.
His dad, Nick Ramsdale, hit out at Arteta for his handling of the situation and said his son had ‘lost his smile’.
