Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has urged his teammates to play without fear as the Gunners chase their first Premier League title in 22 years. In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, Raya emphasized that confidence and enjoyment are crucial for Arsenal's success this season as they compete on four fronts.

Arsenal currently lead the Premier League table and can extend their advantage over Manchester City to seven points with a win against Wolves on Wednesday. Raya highlighted the importance of squad togetherness, noting that the dressing room culture created by manager Mikel Arteta has been instrumental in their success. "The whole squad is bonded together," Raya said, describing teammates as "friends and team-mates at the same time."

The 30-year-old Spaniard, who joined Arsenal in 2023, believes this unity could be pivotal in the title run-in. Arsenal's depth was showcased in their recent 4-0 FA Cup victory over Wigan, where players like Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli scored. Raya stressed the importance of maintaining confidence and focusing on one game at a time, stating, "If you think too far ahead, you're not going to see it. So, just go in the present."
