David Raya looks up while playing for Arsenal.
David Raya might just have set alarm bells ringing among Arsenal fans with comments about his future.
The three-time back-to-back Golden Glove-winning goalkeeper is happy with the Premier League champions – but that doesn't mean he won't be tempted by a move away at some point.

Raya dreams of Spain return
A Spain international and 2026 World Cup winner, Raya has made clear his desire to play in his homeland, having spent his entire senior career to date in England.
"I would love to play in LaLiga one day," the 31-year old told MARCA.
"Right now, I'm very happy at Arsenal, but it's true that I'd love to play in LaLiga one day. It's a very competitive league.
"I'm Spanish and I'd love to play in Spain, that's obvious."
Born in Barcelona, Raya started out with nearby club Cornella before heading to England to join Blackburn Rovers aged 16 – going on to make almost 100 first-team appearances in the Championship and League One.
His exploits for Blackburn saw him snapped up by Brentford in 2019, and he starred as the Bees won a first-ever promotion to the Premier League two years later.
Having impressed over his first two top-flight campaigns with the west London side, he made the switch across the capital to Arsenal in 2023.
Since then, Raya has established himself as one of the very best goalkeepers in world football.

Only the third 'keeper to win three successive Premier League Golden Glove awards for the most clean sheets in the division, he recorded 19 shutouts en route to the title with Arsenal last term.
Raya has kept 72 clean sheets in 176 Premier League appearances overall.

What's next for Arsenal?
That's a trophy Mikel Arteta will be determined to deliver for the first time in the Gunners' history this time around.
They continued their European campaign with an entertaining 2-2 draw away to Bayern Munich on Wednesday, moving to seven points from their first three games in the league phase of the Champions League.
Arteta's men have also made a strong start to their Premier League title defence, winning six of their opening seven matches, trailing early leaders Manchester City by three points.
The Gunners are next in action at home to Everton on Sunday.
That's their first of five games in three competitions between now and the next international break, including a league trip to Liverpool next weekend.
