David Raya’s Easy Decision to Join Arsenal Last Year

London: Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya recently talked about his move to the club. He said it was an easy choice after speaking with manager Mikel Arteta about the team’s plans. Raya joined Arsenal on loan from Brentford last season, and the club later made the deal permanent.

Raya had a mixed first season with Arsenal, making some mistakes. However, he has been performing well this season, making impressive saves and winning fans over. The 29-year-old has quickly become a favorite among supporters.

In a recent interview, Raya mentioned that every child dreams of playing for a big club like Arsenal. He felt excited after Arteta reached out to him. He said he didn’t need to think twice about joining the team.

Raya expressed his admiration for Arsenal, saying he has always followed the club since arriving in England. His loan move surprised many fans, especially since Aaron Ramsdale was the main goalkeeper at that time. There were talks about Arteta possibly rotating the goalkeepers.

However, it soon became clear that Raya was the first choice. Ramsdale moved to Southampton last summer after Raya was signed for £27 million. This season, Raya has shown improvement in his game, looking more confident with his skills.

Arsenal is set to play against West Ham United in the Premier League this weekend. Raya aims to achieve back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since August. Despite having a changing defense in front of him, Arteta has kept a consistent backline in the last two matches after the international break.
