🔗 Share this article Arsenal's goalkeeper Praises Squad Depth as Vital to Multiple Trophy Ambitions The Spanish shot-stopper has declared that fierce rivalry for first-team spots is propelling Arsenal's impressive run, with the keeper asserting that the team's roster under Mikel Arteta is so incredible that they can challenge for multiple honors throughout the campaign. Dominant Victories Showcase Arsenal's Strength The North London club's recent comprehensive win over Atlético Madrid marked their sixth straight victory and tenth triumph in 12 matches. Having let in just three goals—the fewest at this stage in the club's history—Arsenal have secured a one-point lead at the Premier League summit and a perfect record in the Champions League after three outings. Squad Changes and Versatility Key to Success Raya has featured in almost all matches, except for one domestic cup encounter, but the manager has frequently changed the team following significant summer investment on recruits. When asked about chasing several pieces of silverware, he said, "Absolutely, I believe so. Our squad strength is incredible. There are numerous options who can perform in two, three, or four positions." Like in the Atlético match, Mikel Merino was introduced as a forward and can also play as a central midfielder or No 10. That versatility is available to the manager, and it's being utilized to our advantage. Things appear very, very good, and that depth is crucial for us. Competition Elevates Performance Raya added, "That gives you an additional edge in practice and matches because if you're not at it, you can lose instantly. It creates healthy competitiveness in training and on the pitch, which is really, really important, and everyone is on board." Defensive Solidity a Collective Effort Arsenal have let in just a single goal from open play this season, and Raya 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 goalie," Raya explained. "Everyone is focused, no one wants to concede, and we aim to intercept the ball before it reaches the midfield. If we intercept, we can launch a fast break. It's crucial for the entire team to understand that way, and opponents aren't creating many chances, which is ideal."
