, the England international has since lost both his place in the Gunners' starting XI, as well as the confidence of manager Mikel Arteta, who reportedly now sees Raya as his first-choice goalkeeper moving forward.Mikel Arteta has since attempted to clear up his decision-making, praising the former Sheffield United man for his attitude regarding the decision.“I understand that and it is very difficult with every player.
He has been very supportive and really good around the place and that is what I expect from every single player as when you are on the field, there is someone else who is not. So it goes both ways. So far he has been really, really good. Yes it is hard, but with other players it is the same. Aaron is an exceptional character, he has got this charisma and this aura around him, and we all know that and I fully understand that.
