Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya is struggling to adapt to playing for a top side.

The shot stopper was signed in the summer by manager Mikel Arteta to compete for the starting spot.

He has since usurped Aaron Ramsdale as the club's no.1, but club legend David Seaman is not a fan.

“It's tough at the moment and it's tough on Aaron," Seaman told The Football Gods podcast.

“David's finding it tough to adapt to playing at a big club because of all the attention that's on it, and the pressure, and it is another level from what he's used to a Brentford.

“I remember when I was at Arsenal and they paid a lot of money for Richard Wright (who joined from Ipswich for £6m in 2001). He came in as my number two and I thought: 'Whoa, this is serious competition', but I showed him what I could do.

“But the manager (Arsene Wenger) at the time didn't say, 'I'm going to rotate the goalkeepers', and that's what Mikel has said. So now we're looking, watching and thinking, 'David's not having the best of times at the moment and he's making a couple of mistakes, will he get rotated?' And if that happens then Mikel's true to his word.

“But it is tough because Aaron's not done a lot wrong. Last year he was goalkeeper of the year as voted by the players. That's one of the biggest awards that you could ever hope for.

“Then he started this season really well, played against Scotland and finds himself on the bench. Aaron is only 24. He's still got a long time to learn his trade but it's a tough time for him at the moment.

“All we can do is wait and see and see what happens because Mikel even spoke about rotating them in game, like bringing the goalkeeper off, and I thought 'Really?'"
