But the problem that makes me curious is that Arsenal actually already have a good goalkeeper. But I'm quite surprised this club is suddenly after David Raya?

Actually it is not a problem from the clubs perspective, Arsenal would be absolutely delighted to have two brilliant goalkeepers, thus they'll know that whoever plays will perform excellently well. The problem is from the players' perspective, which of these goalkeepers would be happy being a makeshift player, Ramsdale is very good, and David Raya has been excellent for Bretford; i know competition for starting places helps to improve a team, but sometimes it can be too much for the manager and the players, and it will eventually lead to players leaving sooner rather than later because they are not happy with their game-time.

It would be a different view if there were very good players in the same position. This is because the player acting as goalkeeper is one person, and it is very rare that they experience things that are desirable, well for that reason we will ask why they do this.
You are right that with 2 players in the same position, it will increase their competition even more, and it is good for the improvement of the club, because surely they have to work even harder to gain confidence to acquire the main squad. Yes, the other side of the coin is that they might think that they are no longer needed, which will force the management to sell them.
Not without reason they did that, and I think it was on the recommendation of Arteta. Usually the coach is more observant in seeing which positions he still needs.

Ah yes, it will be very interesting to see them next season. Last season they failed to maintain their position so they were couped. Next season they should be able to do even better. It's time for them to rise after so long asleep.
