"The Spanish shot-stopper impressed at former club Brentford before joining Arsenal, but he seems to have gone from strength to strength, particularly this season. As well as being a fine keeper for Arsenal, Raya has started to stand out as a big personality in the Gunners' squad, and Arteta admits that's part of the 30-year-old being more settled in his role at the Emirates Stadium now."
"Personally, things change. I think his role is obviously much more settled, Arteta said. But David has always been a really determined, a really confident person. I think he showed that from the very first minute that he joined the club. David Raya forming a key part of rock-solid Arsenal defence Some might joke that it's easy being Arsenal's goalkeeper right now, and it's probably true that Raya is helped by the fact that he has such a well-drilled back four in front of him."
David Raya has grown into a leadership role at Arsenal and appears increasingly settled as the club's goalkeeper. The Spanish shot‑stopper impressed at Brentford before joining Arsenal and has strengthened further this season. Raya stands out as a vocal, demanding presence who helps organise the defence and has produced notable saves. A well-drilled back four including Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori provides a strong defensive platform. Midfield protection from Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice also aids the defensive unit. Raya's personality and communication complement the team's defensive solidity.
