Ben Foster, a former Manchester United and Wrexham goalkeeper, has called Arsenal’s signing of David Raya “disgusting” and “pathetic”. The 27-year-old Spain international has joined from Brentford on a one-year contract in a move worth three million pounds to the Gunners and can be made permanent next year for £27.
Raya is Brentford’s number one and arrives to compete for the starting job with Aaron Ramsdale, a decision which Mikel Arteta has defended amid heavy criticism this month, including from two former Premier League goalkeepers Peter Schmeichel and Shay Given. . “It’s a necessity, not a gamble,” the Basque coach said of Raya’s arrival.
But Foster completely rejects the move, saying Ramsdale’s quality is pointless. “I hate it, it’s pathetic. It’s something that didn’t have to happen, right? They didn’t need to sign David Raya,” he said on his YouTube channel this week. “Ramsdale has been a good goalkeeper for two years and was very close to being number one in England under Jordan Pickford. When they have a manager who trusts him so much, they can be number 1 in this country.”
