Nonetheless, the 28-year-old goalkeeper has made 22 appearances in the Premier League this season after taking over from Aaron Ramsdale. While Raya has received praise for his overall performances, some critics have emerged due to certain displays between the goalposts. Despite this, Raya has achieved 10 clean sheets for Arsenal this season and notably became the first opposition goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet at the Etihad Stadium since October 2021.
