In a heartfelt show of support, Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal has congratulated Arsenal’s David Raya following his inclusion in the PFA Team of the Year.The praise comes as a testament to Raya’s exceptional performance, which saw him secure the goalkeeper spot in the prestigious lineup.
Mikel Arteta’s bold decision to bring Raya on loan from Brentford last season was initially met with skepticism. However, the gamble has paid off.
Despite the change stirring some controversy, Raya’s impact was undeniable, contributing significantly to Arsenal’s impressive defensive record and their narrow miss of the Premier League title.
The PFA Team of the Year honors highlight Raya’s achievements, alongside Arsenal’s William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães in defense, and midfield stars Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard.
Carvajal took to Instagram to commend Raya, writing, “More than deserved, bro,” a sentiment echoed by teammates Ødegaard and Rice.
As for Aaron Ramsdale, the England international, his future at Arsenal remains uncertain. With the transfer window still open, Ramsdale might seek new opportunities elsewhere, potentially impacting both his club career and England prospects, especially with Gareth Southgate’s departure as national manager.
