Raya joined Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

The 28-year-old Spain international goalkeeper started against Everton in the Premier League last weekend and against PSV in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.

Raya could keep his place in the Arsenal starting lineup against Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby this weekend.

Aaron Ramsdale has been the number one goalkeeper at Arsenal for a while now, but it seems that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta prefers Raya now.

David Raya over Aaron Ramsdale at Arsenal for now

In our view, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is unlikely to drop David Raya anytime soon.

That the 28-year-old started against Everton and PSV shows that Arteta thinks that he is better than Aaron Ramsdale.

We believe that Raya will keep his place in the Gunners’ starting lineup against Tottenham in the North London derby.

After all, why would Arteta play the Spaniard in the past two matches only to drop him against Spurs in the Premier League game?

Ramsdale could now face a huge task in getting back into the Arsenal starting lineup.
