David Raya reflects on the healthy competition with Aaron Ramsdale, stating that their goalkeeper rivalry at Arsenal has elevated both of their performances. Despite Raya making a few mistakes since joining the North London club, manager Mikel Arteta has consistently chosen him, emphasizing the positive impact of their training ground battles. Raya acknowledges the mutual improvement, saying, “I think I have made him a better goalkeeper, just pushing each other in training, trying to help each other.”
With Chelsea eyeing Ramsdale amid Robert Sanchez’s injury, Arteta is reluctant to part with him in the mid-season window. Raya welcomes the competition, praising Ramsdale as a top goalkeeper and teammate. Despite the challenge of the starting position, Raya highlights their camaraderie, emphasizing that pushing each other in training benefits both and enhances the team’s overall performance.
As Arsenal leads the Premier League table, Raya anticipates the crucial upcoming clash against Liverpool at Anfield. Undeterred by Arsenal’s recent struggles at Anfield, he views it as a massive game and emphasizes the team’s focus on securing three points. Raya also expresses commitment to Arteta’s playing style, including the risky method of playing out from the back.
David Raya on Aaron Ramsdale: “He is a top, top goalkeeper and a top, top team-mate. We are team-mates, we are fighting for one position.”
“That’s the only problem being a goalkeeper, there is only one that can play and I am just there to help the team as much as possible.… pic.twitter.com/eCAbS9xmQM
