The Arsenal goalkeeper Raya favors a forward over Erling Haaland

In the pursuit of regaining Premier League success after a long gap, Arsenal’s goalkeeper David Raya has sparked discussions by openly stating his preference for Kylian Mbappe over the prolific Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland.

Despite Haaland’s recent goal-scoring spree for Pep Guardiola’s team, Raya remains steadfast in his opinion that Mbappe holds the top position in terms of footballing skills.

Haaland’s remarkable four-goal display in the previous Man City match, drawing comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo, has intensified the competition for the league title.

Arsenal is currently at the top with 83 points, while City is just one point behind with three games remaining in their schedule.

During an open chat with ESPN UK on TikTok, when asked to pick between Haaland and Mbappe, Raya quickly chose “Mbappe” as his preferred player.

Mbappe has achieved an impressive record of 255 goals and 108 assists in 305 games for PSG.
