David Raya continues to prove why he has become such an important figure for Arsenal this season.
The Spanish goalkeeper now holds the best clean sheet record across Europe’s top five leagues, underlining his consistency in Mikel Arteta’s side.
Raya’s performances have helped Arsenal maintain one of the strongest defensive records in the Premier League this campaign, including in the recent victory over Everton.
Raya leads clean sheet rankings across Europe
According to statistics shared by Squawka, Raya has now kept 15 clean sheets in the Premier League, more than any other goalkeeper across Europe’s top five leagues.
That total places him ahead of several elite goalkeepers across the continent, including Yann Sommer, Gregor Kobel and Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The statistic highlights just how effective Arsenal’s defensive structure has been this season.
Arsenal defence continues to impress
Raya’s performances have played a major role in Arsenal’s defensive stability.
The goalkeeper has recorded 20 clean sheets across all competitions in 39 matches, a remarkable return that reflects both his shot-stopping ability and the defensive organisation in front of him.
Fifteen of those clean sheets have come in the Premier League, demonstrating how consistent Arsenal have been domestically.
Arteta’s side have relied on that defensive strength throughout the campaign as they continue pushing for success on multiple fronts.
Raya proving crucial for Arsenal
When Arsenal signed Raya permanently, the club made it clear they viewed him as a long-term solution between the posts.
His performances this season suggest that decision has been justified.
Leading Europe’s top five leagues for clean sheets is a significant achievement, particularly in a competition as demanding as the Premier League.
If Raya can maintain that level of consistency, he could play a crucial role in Arsenal’s ambitions during the remainder of the season, particularly as the club continues integrating young talent such as Max Dowman.
