After ending a 22-year wait for the Premier League title, Arsenal are setting their sights on sustained dominance. Goalkeeper David Raya has made it clear that Mikel Arteta’s squad views their recent league triumph as the start of an era, rather than an isolated peak.
While the Gunners suffered heartbreak in last season's Champions League final, that experience has only sharpened their focus on winning the European Cup. Raya maintains that the squad possesses the mindset to challenge on every front this season.
We want to become winners, not just a one-off. I think we’re going to have to attack the league again, attack the cups, attack the Champions League because we want more. David Raya
The club has backed Arteta with significant investment, bringing in Bruno Guimaraes and Ezri Konsa to strengthen the squad. Raya has welcomed these additions, noting that competition for places is vital for maintaining the defensive standards that saw the team thrive last year.
Raya, who recently claimed his third consecutive Golden Glove, credits the collective work for Arsenal’s defensive success. As the new campaign begins with a commanding victory over Coventry, the Spaniard emphasizes that the team must continue to push their boundaries to secure further silverware.
