Former Premier League manager Tim Sherwood has claimed that Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya is "up there with Alisson" with the pair by far and away the best in their position in the country.

"Raya is right up there with Alisson as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League," Sherwood told Bet Brain.



I believe him and Alisson are out there on their own as the best keepers in the division."
