Arsenal fans are loving the fact that David Raya offers his match-worn jersey to one travelling supporter after each away game.
The Spanish goalkeeper was spotted doing the same after the Gunners’ win over Bournemouth, with one fan claiming he does it each time ‘without fail’.
Change my mind, David Raya is the best Arsenal goalkeeper of the Emirates era.
Andoni Iraola called Raya ‘elite’, along with Arsenal’s two central defenders, following his team’s 3-2 defeat on the South Coast.
The 30-year-old has been a real revelation in N5, given his performance, but the club’s supporters also love him as a character.
Arsenal fans love David Raya’s connection with them
Arsenal fans really appreciate the fact that David Raya keeps giving away his shirt and goalkeeper gloves after each away game.
Raya was one of Arsenal’s most influential players in 2025 and is set to be equally as important during the New Year.
But not only is Raya a great character and player to have on the pitch, but he’s also a brilliant personality off, as shown by his great gesture to Arsenal’s away supporters.
Arsenal fans were outstanding during the win at Bournemouth and could be heard throughout the 90 minutes in the corner at the Vitality Stadium.
How confident are you that David Raya will start for Spain at the 2026 World Cup?
Rice was the player who led the team over to the away end after the game, but once again, Raya made sure to give away his kit to one lucky fan.
It’s clear that there is a great bond between the players, coaching staff and fans right now, which is a big reason why Arsenal lead the way in the Premier League.
A character like Raya is certainly a big example of why there is such unity between the team and the supporters right now.
David Raya produced his joint-worst performance of the season vs Bournemouth
Sofascore rated Raya’s performance 5.9 out of 10 against Bournemouth, which is his joint lowest rating of the 2025/26 season.
The Spanish international had the same rating against Sunderland in the 2-2 draw, the only other occasion this season when the team conceded twice.
In the national team, Raya is still expected to be Spain’s second-choice goalkeeper, which means he will need to up his game moving forward.
On the whole, Raya has been brilliant this term, especially over recent weeks, with sensational saves against Brighton and Aston Villa.
