"Mikel Arteta watched his side drop two points in the dying seconds of their game in hand last night, with Arsenal 2-0 up against Wolverhampton Wanderers before late drama ensued. The Basque boss spoke after the game to admit, we didn't perform at the level that is required and with plenty of criticism for his team across the board, there may be a surprise upgrade in the offing between the sticks."
"Ranked at no.3 in FourFourTwo's list of the best goalkeepers in the world right now, Raya has been a steady head this season for the Gunners, after winning back-to-back Golden Gloves in the Premier League. Having staved off competition from Aaron Ramsdale to become Arsenal's no.1, Raya's spot in the side has never really been in danger despite compatriot Kepa Arrizabalaga's signature in the 2025 transfer window but it now appears as if the club are looking to bring in a new custodian."
Arsenal are preparing to move for a potential replacement for David Raya and have been linked with Olympiacos goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis. Mikel Arteta's side conceded a late equaliser to Wolves after leading 2-0, prompting criticism and prompting consideration of an upgrade in goal. Raya has been consistently strong this season, ranked highly by FourFourTwo and winning consecutive Premier League Golden Gloves, but his position faces future competition despite Kepa Arrizabalaga's arrival. Arsenal previously targeted Joan Garcia and now reportedly monitor Tzolakis alongside top clubs such as Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Juventus. Viral statistics highlighted 19 Premier League goals conceded by Raya, including several from low-probability long-range shots.
