Fabrizio Romano has recently shared live updates regarding Pep Guardiola’s admiration for a particular Arsenal player after their impressive performance against Leicester City. Guardiola praised the player’s influence on Arsenal, stating, “Since his arrival, Arsenal has become significantly more dangerous.
However, I believe he deserves to play for a bigger club, which is why I’m doing everything possible to sign him.” Guardiola further revealed that Manchester City has made a £120 million bid ahead of the January transfer window in an effort to secure the player’s transfer.
Meanwhile, Arsenal has enjoyed a strong start to the 2024-25 Premier League season, securing four wins and two draws in their first six games. Despite a challenging fixture list, they are only one point behind league leaders Liverpool.
In their latest match, Arsenal triumphed 4-2 against Leicester City in a thrilling encounter. The match was tied at 2-2 during stoppage time, but an own goal and a late strike from Kai Havertz sealed the win for the Gunners.
One standout player contributing to Arsenal’s early success this season is goalkeeper David Raya. Since his move from Brentford in 2023, Raya has consistently delivered top-level performances, establishing himself as a key figure in Arsenal’s rise.
Former Premier League player Kevin Nolan has praised Raya, calling him one of the best goalkeepers in the league. Nolan emphasized that Raya’s development has been remarkable, especially in their 2-2 draw against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League, where he saved a crucial penalty.
Nolan commented that when Arsenal first signed Raya, many questioned the decision, particularly due to Aaron Ramsdale’s solid performances. However, Raya has since elevated Arsenal’s game, putting them closer to Manchester City’s level.
Nolan went on to place Raya among the Premier League’s elite goalkeepers, alongside Alisson and Ederson, noting that his presence has significantly improved Arsenal’s defensive structure. Raya’s commanding performances, coupled with his excellent shot-stopping and distribution skills, have been pivotal in Arsenal’s early season success.
