Declan Rice - next England captain? Arsenal midfielder can use World Cup to show why he is Harry Kane's ideal successor

Three saves against PSG David Raya recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Raya was the only goalkeeper to make a meaningful save across both the 120 minutes and the penalty shootout in Saturday's heartbreaking 1-1 defeat to PSG in the Champions League final in Budapest. His most significant intervention came in extra time when Bradley Barcola raced through on goal with his first touch after coming off the bench, only for Raya to read the danger perfectly and smother the ball at the winger's feet before he could finish. The Spanish goalkeeper also denied Nuno Mendes in the penalty shootout, but could not prevent Gabriel's crucial miss from ultimately condemning Arsenal to defeat and extending the club's wait for a first European crown. Raya ends the 2025-26 season with 28 clean sheets, 96 saves and 31 goals conceded across 51 appearances in all competitions, further cementing his reputation as one of the world's top goalkeepers. His consistency, composure and shot-stopping ability were central to Arsenal's success throughout the campaign, and he is set to travel to the 2026 World Cup with Spain as the backup to Unai Simon.

Keeps clean sheet David Raya had no saves and secured a clean sheet in Monday's 1-0 win against Burnley.

Impact Raya didn't face any trouble at all as Arsenal clamped down defensively after grabbing the lead in the first half. The goalkeeper will need to be on point as Arsenal try to secure the league title against Crystal Palace, a side which has scored just 40 times in 37 matches. Arsenal could win the league Tuesday if Man City lose or draw to Bournemouth.

Secures clean sheet David Raya recorded three saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus West Ham United.

Impact Raya produced the save of the match in Sunday's 1-0 win at West Ham, staying big with his legs to deny Mateus Fernandes when the Portuguese midfielder broke clean through on goal in the second half in what was the most dangerous moment of the match for his side, a moment that proved decisive as Leandro Trossard scored at the other end just five minutes later. The Spanish goalkeeper also dealt confidently with Taty Castellanos's diving header in the first half, springing to his right to keep his side level as West Ham were growing into the match, before surviving a dramatic VAR check in stoppage time when Callum Wilson's goal was ruled out for a foul on Raya during the preceding corner. Raya has kept 18 clean sheets across 36 Premier League appearances this season, the most of any goalkeeper in the division and a cornerstone of his side's title push. He will look to maintain his momentum in the next match against Burnley.

Two saves for final spot David Raya made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Tuesday's 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Raya stopped both shots he faced during Tuesday's win, earning the win, clean sheet, and spot in the Champions League final. It was another excellent defensive showing from Arsenal, who play conservatively, giving Raya clean sheet upside every time he steps on the pitch. The only downside is that he generally faces so few shots that even a single goal allowed ruins his day.

One save in another clean sheet win David Raya recorded one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Fulham.

Impact Raya kept his 17th clean sheet of the Premier League season as Arsenal put their lead out to six points in the lead with City having games in hand. He was only required to make one save, but he has kept clean sheets in his last two Premier League games and six clean sheets in his last nine games.

Three saves in draw Raya registered three saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Raya came up with a huge save in the first half, denying Julian Alvarez on a long-range free kick to keep things level before Viktor Gyokeres buried Arsenal's penalty in the 43rd minute. He was tested again after the break with Antoine Griezmann and Ademola Lookman both pushing forward, and he answered the call, finishing with three saves as Arsenal grinded out a 1-1 draw to keep the semifinal tie wide open heading into the return leg at the Emirates. Raya will aim to carry that momentum into Saturday's matchup against Fulham with the decisive second leg looming on Tuesday.
