Unveiling the Arsenal Locker Room
Raya offered an inside look into the daily atmosphere of the Arsenal locker room. In this lighthearted Q&A session, he answered various questions about his teammates.
Raya not only praised his teammates but also playfully teased them on different topics. The questions covered social media habits, survival skills, and more, requiring him to name his top choices directly.
Loudest Player and Worst Music Taste in the Team
Raya said it's usually hard to keep quiet on the team bus when they're traveling for away games. He also pointed out a few teammates who often make noise during trips.
Raya revealed, "There are several. I think it's Eberechi Eze, Madueke, and Saka. They play UNO together and are always shouting."
When asked about the player with the worst taste in music, Raya didn't hesitate to pick Madueke. He joked, "He definitely won't like me saying that."
Competition on the Training Ground and Cooking Showdown
Raya also talked about his teammates' strong desire to win on the training ground. He believes the player who hates losing the most is his Spanish compatriot Merino, adding, "He has a very strong competitive spirit deep down."
If he had to choose a teammate to cook dinner for him, Raya would also pick Merino. He stated that Merino's cooking skills are well-regarded. In addition, he made a joke about young player Max Dowman's cooking skills.
Raya explained, "For the worst cook, I'd pick Max Dowman, because he's still young, and his cooking skills clearly haven't developed yet."
In other fun selections, Tommy Setford was named by Raya as the player who spends the longest time looking in the mirror, while Hincapie was the biggest TikTok enthusiast in the team.
Raya Chooses Timber for Desert Island Survival
Finally, Raya was asked which teammate he would choose to survive with if he were stranded on a desert island. He ultimately picked Timber , citing his intelligence.
Raya said, "I'd pick Timber. He's very smart, and I think he'd be an excellent survivor."
