David Raya says the arrival of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga will only make him better. Kepa signed for Arsenal from rivals Chelsea this summer to provide competition for his fellow Spaniard Raya. And Raya admits his place as Arsenal’s starting goalkeeper is far from guaranteed.
Raya is happy to compete with Kepa for No1 status in manager Mikel Arteta's XI. He said, "What did Arteta tell me about the goalkeeper's role? Nothing. A new teammate simply arrived to add another goalkeeper to the mix. The manager hasn't said anything, so we'll see what happens."
David Raya has opened up on competition from compatriot Kepa Arrizabalaga at Arsenal next season. The Gunners brought in Kepa from London rivals Chelsea this summer in a deal worth reported £5 million.
David Raya is not the loudest player on the pitch. He does not make the headlines.
