Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya: I'm now finding my feet here

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has admitted to facing challenges in his first season with the club.

Raya has displaced the former no.1 Aaron Ramsdale as manager Mikel Arteta's starting goalkeeper.

However, not everyone who supports the club has been receptive to Raya's risky style of playing out from the back.

On his move from Bournemouth in the summer, per The Mirror, he admitted: "I think you need time to adapt to a new team, new club, new facilities and new demands.

"It's not easy, but I think I am finding my feet and I am finding myself now. Of course I am feeling part of the team."

Manager Arteta stated of Raya recently: "When teams sit low, it is a great way to do it, David reading the space, Gabby's [Jesus] action as well and Leo [Trossard], he did what he does best which is have all the composure in the world inside the box to make the right decision."
