Pep Guardiola has praised a specific Arsenal player after an exceptional performance against Leicester City. He expressed admiration for this player’s impact on Arsenal, stating, “Arsenal has become so dangerous since they signed him.
Personally, I believe he deserves a better club, and that’s why I’m determined to sign him. We’ve offered £120 million for him ahead of the January transfer window.” Guardiola’s comments highlight his belief that this Arsenal star could thrive at an even higher level, and he is eager to bring the player to Manchester City.
Arsenal has started the 2024-25 Premier League season in strong form, with four wins and two draws from their first six matches. They are just a point behind the top team, Liverpool, despite facing difficult opponents.
In their latest outing, Arsenal secured a dramatic 4-2 win over Leicester City. The match was tied 2-2 heading into stoppage time, but an own goal and a late strike from Kai Havertz earned the Gunners all three points.
While many players have contributed to Arsenal’s success, goalkeeper David Raya has stood out as a key figure in their impressive run.
His performances have drawn widespread praise, with former Premier League player Kevin Nolan particularly lauding the Spanish goalkeeper. Nolan considers Raya one of the best goalkeepers in the league and credits him for helping elevate Arsenal’s play.
Raya’s role in Arsenal’s campaign has been pivotal, including saving a crucial penalty in their 2-2 draw against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League. Since his move from Brentford in the summer of 2023, Raya has greatly improved, and Nolan describes him as a “complete” goalkeeper. He highlighted Raya’s shot-stopping abilities and his skill with the ball at his feet as key assets that have strengthened Arsenal’s squad.
Nolan further emphasized that Raya’s performances have placed him among the top goalkeepers in the Premier League, alongside the likes of Alisson and Ederson.
According to Nolan, Raya’s presence in goal has taken Arsenal to the next level, making him an essential figure in Mikel Arteta’s side. Raya’s contributions have added another dimension to Arsenal’s already talented squad, reinforcing their early season success.
