Arsenal’s New Signing Hails Teammate David Raya as "Amazing"
In a boost to his adaptation at his new club, Arsenal’s latest signing, Mikel Merino, has praised his teammate David Raya as an "amazing" player. Merino, who joined the Premier League North London club from Real Sociedad on Tuesday, believes Raya will be a significant help in his transition to the new team.
The duo has a strong bond, having played together for the Spain national team and winning the Euro 2024 title in Germany after defeating England 2-1 in the final. Merino and Raya have a good relationship, which Merino credits for his happiness at having Raya join him at Arsenal.
In an interview with Arsenal’s website, Merino revealed that Raya was curious about his future plans when rumors of his transfer started circulating. "He was always asking me, ‘What’s going on? Am I going to see you next year with us?’" Merino said. "We have a good relationship, and obviously, we won the Euros together, so I’m extremely happy to have him here."
Merino is confident that Raya will be a valuable asset in helping him adjust to his new life at Arsenal. "I think he will be a big help for me to adapt to this new life. He is an amazing team-mate," Merino emphasized.
The arrival of Raya at Arsenal is expected to strengthen the team’s defensive capabilities, and Merino’s endorsement of his teammate is a testament to the positive impact he is likely to have on the team.
