Goalkeepers play an increasingly important role in modern football. How is Arsenal's goalkeeping position? The unshakable number one in north London is deservedly Spanish international David Raya. However, after the departure of the experienced Neto, who spent a year in the Arsenal camp on loan, the Gunnres need to replenish the goalkeeping position in terms of personnel. Mikel Arteta has only young English international Tommy Setford at his disposal.

#1 David Raya

The experienced Spanish goalkeeper, who has been with the Gunners since the 2023/2024 season, is one of Arsenal's defensive cornerstones. And it's no surprise, David Raya is among the very best not only in the English Premier League.

#13 Kepa Arrizabalaga

Transfers between Chelsea and Arsenal have gained popularity in recent years. The latest footballer to swap West London for North London is Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. He is expected to be the number two at Arsenal, but we all know that anything can happen in football.

#30 Illan Meslier

Illan Meslier swapped Leeds for Arsenal, where he is expected to serve as a backup goalkeeper amidst strong competition. He has more than enough experience. He played over two hundred competitive matches for Leeds United and even represented France in youth categories.

#35 Tommy Setford

The young Englishman moved to North London from Dutch club Ajax during the summer transfer window before the 2024/2025 season. From the new campaign, he is expected to be a fully integrated member of the first team, and therefore should not be absent from the Gunners' main goalkeepers, even after Kepa's arrival.
