National News – Arsenal F.C. goalkeeper David Raya is on the verge of making Premier League history after moving within one clean sheet of Arsenal’s all-time single-season record.

Reports on Friday revealed that the Spanish shot-stopper could equal the long-standing record jointly held by club legends David Seaman and Petr Čech.

Raya has been one of Arsenal’s standout performers this season under manager Mikel Arteta.

The 29-year-old has played a major role in the club’s Premier League title challenge through consistent performances, vital saves, and excellent ball distribution from the back.

His performances have strengthened Arsenal’s defence and increased confidence within the squad.

The goalkeeper arrived at Arsenal amid heavy debate over the club’s goalkeeping position, with many fans comparing him to former first-choice keeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Despite early criticism, Raya has responded impressively by delivering commanding displays in several crucial matches this season.

Beyond the clean sheet milestone, Raya is also being discussed as a contender for the Premier League Player of the Season award.

If he wins the honour, he would become the first goalkeeper since Peter Schmeichel achieved the feat with Manchester United F.C. during the 1995/96 season.

Football analysts believe Raya’s calmness under pressure, ability to start attacks from the back, and consistency in high-stakes games have made him one of Arsenal’s most influential players this season.

With the campaign nearing its conclusion, the Spanish goalkeeper now stands close to writing his name into both Arsenal and Premier League history.
