🔗 Share this article Arsenal's goalkeeper Highlights Squad Depth as Vital to Silverware Ambitions David Raya has emphasized that fierce rivalry for first-team spots is fueling Arsenal's outstanding run, with the keeper confident that the squad's depth under Mikel Arteta is so incredible that they can challenge for several trophies this season. Stunning Wins Highlight The Gunners' Prowess The North London club's latest 4-0 triumph over Atlético Madrid marked their sixth straight victory and 10th success in a dozen games. Having let in just three goals—the fewest at this point in the team's legacy—they have secured a narrow advantage at the Premier League summit and a perfect record in the Champions League after three outings. Squad Changes and Depth Key to Success Raya has started in almost all matches, aside from one Carabao Cup encounter, but Arteta has consistently rotated the lineup following heavy spending on new signings. When asked about chasing multiple trophies, Raya said, "Absolutely, I think so. Our squad strength is amazing. There are many players who can excel in two, three, or four positions." For instance, against Atlético, a teammate came on as a forward and is capable of playing as a No 8 or attacking midfielder. Such flexibility is what the boss has, and he's using it to our advantage. Things appear very, very good, and that depth is crucial for us. Competition Drives Standards The Spain international added, "That gives you an additional edge in practice and matches because if you slack off, your place is at risk instantly. That fosters healthy competitiveness in training and during matches, which is really, really important, and the whole squad accepts it." Strong Defense a Team Achievement Arsenal have conceded only one goal from open play so far, and the keeper has faced only one shot on target in their last three wins against Atlético, Fulham, and West Ham. "It's a collective effort from the striker to the goalkeeper," he said. "Everyone is focused, determined not to give anything away, and we aim to intercept passes before it reaches the midfield. If we intercept, it allows a fast break. It's crucial for everyone to feel this mentality, and opponents aren't creating numerous opportunities, which is perfect."
