"'Just obviously the coach, the philosophy that when they came for me, the project that was there, the club was rising,' Raya said. 'I just wanted to make a big step in my career coming from Brentford and I think Arsenal was the best team to do it.'"
"'I was very close to go to another club but obviously everything happened with Arsenal because it was right in between and everything. I was very, very close to going to another club but luckily it didn't happen and Arsenal in the end made the bid and I came here.'"
"'I would say probably Gabriel Jesus because he's so technical, he can do anything inside the box,' Raya replied. 'It's so, so tricky to go one versus one with him. He's a flair player, he's Brazilian, he has so much technique.'"
David Raya, the Spanish goalkeeper, joined Arsenal on a season-long loan from Brentford in August 2023, later making the deal permanent for £27 million. He revealed he was very close to joining Bayern Munich but opted for Arsenal due to the club's rising project and young squad. Raya expressed confidence in his decision, stating it was the best choice for advancing his career. He also mentioned Gabriel Jesus as the toughest player to face in training due to his technical skills.
