Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says there are "no number ones" in his squad after signing goalkeeper David Raya.


The 27-year-old has signed from Brentford on a season-long loan which could be made permanent.

Arteta is hoping to increase competition in his goal with Raya challenging England keeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Ramsdale, 25, kept 14 clean sheets last season as Arsenal finished runners-up to Manchester City, but Arteta said he hoped Raya's arrival and greater competition for places in his squad will lift his players to improve their level of performance.
