Bernd Leno has been kept on the bench in the last three games for England international Aaron Ramsdale, The Sun, Goal.
Arsenal have won three consecutive Premier League matches against Burnley, Norwich and Tottenham with Ramsdale in goal.
And the German goalkeeper is becoming increasingly frustrated with the situation of things at the Emirates.
Leno's frustration
The 29-year-old claimed that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta gave no reason for his exemption from the team and it has been a difficult time for him in the past few weeks.
Leno said:
"There was no clear reason why I was out, just that it had nothing to do with my performance.
"[Arteta] is the trainer, he decides. It's difficult for me, of course."
The nine-international capped German has been linked with a move out of the Emirates as the north London club are looking to raise money.
Serie A giants Inter Milan want to have a successor for club captain Samir Handanovic who is 37-year-old and have been linked to Leno to become his successor.
Leno's future plans
However, the former Bayer Leverkusen shot-stopper has insisted that he is not giving up his place yet at No.1 of the team.
He added:
"I'm not really looking into that [a transfer] yet.
"I feel at home at Arsenal and in London.
"Only if nothing changes in my situation by winter would I have to think: 'What options do I have, how can I continue?'
"But I concentrate on the work in training, I can't influence everything else as of today."
