When David Raya’s deal was confirmed, he posted on his Instagram that he ‘can’t wait to get started’.
Even though the 27-year-old was number one at Brentford, he has decided to take this step up where there is already a top-quality performer ahead of him in Aaron Ramsdale.
That’s why many have been questioning Arsenal’s call to bring Raya in, including former Premier League veteran, Brad Friedel.
Nonetheless, when Raya took to his IG to speak about his move, he received a number of messages in the comments section from players.

Ivan Toney, who is suspended until January, wrote ‘My boy. Let’s go’, whilst Gabriel added ‘Welcome’ and Bryan Mbeumo said: ‘Let’s go, my friend’.
Big risk from Arteta to sign Raya
No-one is questioning the call to bring in a player of Raya’s quality, he has been a top performer in the Premier League for a number of years and he is ready for that step up to a team in the Champions League.
But it’s the call to bring him in when Ramsdale is already the main guy – Peter Schmeichel was another one who was critical.
Either way, if Arteta can make it work, then Arsenal will go up a level, no doubt.
