Arsenal loan signing David Raya is raring to go as he looks set to battle Aaron Ramsdale for a starting spot.

The Brentford goalkeeper is spending the season with the Gunners, who have the option to sign him permanently.

While Raya is set for a spell on the bench, with Ramsdale the club's no.1, he is ready to fight for that position.

He told Arsenalfc.com: "I can't wait to be out there training with the lads and getting that GK union going.

That's a tight group that we're always going to get along and push each other, so that's going to be a healthy group in my opinion. I just can't wait to get going and meet the lads.

"One of the challenges is to get used to the style and the patterns, and get to know the players as soon as possible to get that bond from the beginning.

Knowing the players and the staff, I think they're going to put me in the right direction and I'll fit in straight away."
