[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, although Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya stands at just 1.83 meters tall, his size 11 goalkeeper gloves are among the largest in the Premier League. Raya always steps up when Arsenal needs him most at crucial moments. He spent seven years playing in England’s lower leagues, fighting for moments like these. This season, the 30-year-old has produced a string of outstanding saves. On March 1 against Chelsea, he denied Alejandro Garnacho’s shot in stoppage time to preserve a 2–1 victory. On December 27 against Brighton at the Emirates Stadium, he kept out Yankuba Minteh’s curling effort to rescue his team once again. Raya gives his all on the pitch, gets along well with everyone, and is hugely popular among his teammates and those around him.
The editor believes that with his precise long passes and quick, accurate distribution to launch attacks, Raya has established himself among the world’s top goalkeepers. Furthermore, he possesses cat-like agility and has become a vital cornerstone of his team’s success.
