I’m Spanish and I would love to play there, that’s for sure.” Raya has won three successive Premier League Golden Gloves and helped Arsenal win the league last season, establishing himself as a key part of the team. Raya first arrived at Arsenal on loan from Brentford in 2023, having previously played for Blackburn Rovers . He has made 158 appearances for Arsenal, just three fewer than he made for the Bees, but has 73 cleansheets in the red of Arsenal compared to 54 with Brentford. Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images
