David Raya & The Moment I Hit ROCK BOTTOM at Arsenal…
This week’s guest on the Fozcast is Arsenal’s number one, winner of the Premier League Golden Glove and Euro 2024 winner with Spain, it’s David Raya!
In this episode, David shares the story of moving from Spain to England at just 16 years old, adjusting to a new culture and chasing his dream of becoming a professional goalkeeper.
He reflects on his journey from Blackburn and Brentford to Arsenal, where he’s now battling for major trophies and individual honours like the Golden Glove every season in the Premier League.
He also talks about learning from difficult moments — including hitting rock bottom after a match — and how support from Arsenal staff and family helped him reset.
We dive into the goalkeeper mindset, what it's really like to play under Mikel Arteta, the difference between the Championship and Premier League, and the madness of the North London Derby.
There’s even chat about building the perfect goalkeeper, the save that shocked the Champions League, and why teenage sensation Dean Huijsen is the real deal.
