David Raya is Arsenal’s Spanish goalkeeper, a keeper who is comfortable with the ball at his feet and sharp on his line. He came to the Emirates from Brentford in 2023 on loan, and the move was made permanent the following year, after which he became Mikel Arteta’s first choice between the posts.
His distribution is central to how Arsenal build from the back, drawing the press before finding a passer in midfield, and he has won the Premier League Golden Glove more than once. Behind him Kepa Arrizabalaga and Illan Meslier provide competition and cover for the long season.
This page collects everything we write about him: match reports focused on his performances, injury and fitness updates, contract and transfer stories, and analysis of how Arsenal use their number one in possession and at set pieces. If you want to understand why the goalkeeper matters so much in Arteta’s system, and how his form shapes the club’s results week to week, this is the place to start.
