David Raya has cemented his name amongst the best goalkeepers in Premier League history after securing at least a share of the Premier League Golden Glove award for the 2025-26 season.
The Arsenal shot-stopper has guaranteed himself at least a share of the Premier League Golden Glove for the 2025–26 season after his closest challenger, Gianluigi Donnarumma, conceded during Man City’s clash with Everton on Monday evening.
Raya currently leads the standings with 17 clean sheets, a figure he reached during his side’s weekend win over Fulham.
With Donnarumma on 13 and only four league matches remaining for City, the Italian can now only draw level with Raya. That outcome ensures the Spaniard will collect a share of the award for a third successive campaign.

By securing the award for the third consecutive year, Raya becomes only the fourth goalkeeper in Premier League history to achieve the feat. He joins an elite group that includes Pepe Reina, Joe Hart and Ederson.
Raya has been impressive for Arsenal all season and his 17 clean sheets represent a personal best in a single Premier League campaign.
That tally also surpasses the 13 shutouts he recorded in the 2024–25 season, when he shared the Golden Glove with Matz Sels of Nottingham Forest.
Raya still has the opportunity to secure the Golden Glove outright in the closing weeks of the campaign. Arsenal face West Ham United in a London derby this weekend, and a clean sheet in any of their remaining three matches would ensure Raya finishes alone at the top of the standings.
