Raya has, in turn, praised coach Gabriel Heinze, the former Manchester United defender, for instilling a "fighting spirit" in the defensive unit.
He added: "He’s a guy, he’s a coach, where he wants us to fight - a lot of intensity. To win games, you have to defend very well, especially in this league. This is the toughest league in the world.
"You have to be very, very, very solid to be able to win games. Normally, the games are won by one goal. So, it’s really, really important to keep that asset from us, from everyone. Not just the back line, just every single player. So, it’s a lot of credit to him as well."
Jamie Carragher hailed Raya earlier this season, saying: : “Listen, I think he’s a brilliant goalkeeper. This is one of the best pieces of business that Arsenal have done. He’s a real upgrade on Aaron Ramsdale. David Raya, for me, it’s between him and Alisson in the Premier League for the best goalkeeper. He’s certainly one of the best goalkeepers in the world and that’s why he keeps so many clean sheets.”
