Arsenal signing David Raya is confident his passing game will lift the team.

Goalkeeper Raya has joined the Gunners on a season-long loan.

He said, "My brother always put me in a goal. With my mates, I always played outfield.

"I enjoyed playing further up the pitch and I think that's why I'm comfortable on the ball.

"Next to my house, there were always young guys playing on the futsal pitch. I always played outfield in those games."

Raya also said: “I've seen Arsenal a lot for a lot of years and since [Mikel] came he's made a massive difference to the style of play and to the club. The way the team plays out of the back, being confident and taking possession to the other team is the main thing why I fit into the team. I'm going to try and help as much as possible and we'll see what happens."
