David Raya took part in an exclusive GOAL interview, joining a light-hearted question and answer session in which he picked out various Arsenal teammates for different off-pitch habits and traits.
Noisy Uno games on the team bus
Raya said that a few teammates are responsible for making the most noise during team-bus journeys. He said: "There's a few." He then named Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke and Bukayo Saka, explaining that they play Uno and are always shouting. Raya said: "I would say Ebs, Noni, Bukayo. They play Uno and they're always shouting."
Worst dressing-room DJ
When asked to identify the worst dressing-room DJ, Raya named Noni Madueke. He added that the teammate in question is "not going to like that" after being called out for his music choices.
Who hates losing and Raya's cooking choice
On the subject of which player hates losing the most, Raya chose Mikel Merino and said "he has that competitive in him". Asked which teammate he would want to cook him dinner, Raya again went for Merino. At the same time, he jokingly warned against eating food prepared by Max Dowman. Raya said: "I'm going to say Max Dowman because obviously he's young and he doesn't have the skills yet."
Mirrors, TikTok and a desert survival partner
Raya named Tommy Setford as the teammate who takes the longest in front of the mirror, and picked out Piero Hincapie as the one who spends the most time on TikTok. Finally, when asked which teammate he would take with him to survive being stranded in a desert, Raya chose Jurrien Timber. He said: "I would say Jurrien Timber. He has that cleverness in him and I think he will be a good survivor."
