David Raya has continued his impressive form from last season, earning two Premier League Save of the Month nominations for August. After joining Arsenal on an initial loan from Brentford last season, Mikel Arteta faced criticism for bringing him in, especially with Aaron Ramsdale already in the squad. However, Raya justified the decision by finishing the season with the most clean sheets in the Premier League.

Arsenal boasts one of the best defences in the league, and Raya’s outstanding performances have contributed significantly. According to Arsenal Media, two of Raya’s saves from August have been shortlisted for the Premier League’s Save of the Month award.

The first nomination came from Arsenal’s victory over Wolves, where Raya made a remarkable save to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen’s powerful header, which seemed destined for the net. The second, even more impressive, was his quick reaction to stop a close-range effort from Ollie Watkins after an initial shot had bounced off the crossbar, leaving Raya seemingly out of position.

Raya’s consistent performances have solidified his reputation as one of the top goalkeepers in Europe, giving Arsenal a strong foundation as they pursue success this season.

  1. “Arsenal boasts one of the best defences in the league, and Raya’s outstanding performances have contributed significantly”

    My suggested modification:
    “Arsenal has the best defence in the league and has contributed significantly to Raya’s having 2 more clean sheets and having to make 44% less saves last season than were necessary for Arsenal in the previous season”

    I accept MA’s right and obligation to make whatever changes he feels are best for the club. I also want Raya to do as well as possible going forward like any Arsenal player and salute his outstanding saves and MOTM level performances this the season.
