Arsenal have named four contenders for their first Player of the Month award of the season and summer signing David Raya is up for the award.
Raya spent last season on loan at The Emirates and completed a £27m permanent deal to join the Gunners this summer.
Mikel Arteta decided last season to favour the Spaniard shot-stopper over Aaron Ramsdale, who has since joined Southampton in a £25m deal.
Raya is one of four contenders for the award alongside Kai Havertz, William Saliba and Bukayo Saka.
David Raya has been brilliant at Arsenal
Eyebrows were raised when Arteta made the decision to drop Raya for Ramsdale, but his decision has been justified by the Spaniard’s performances.
Raya cemented his starting spot last season and he has started the new campaign in brilliant form.
Raya made two unbelievable saves in quick succession against Aston Villa and his display against Brighton was praised by Declan Rice after the Arsenal midfielder was sent off.
