Former Manchester United goalkeeper, Edwin van der Sar has said Arsenal’s David Raya still lacks some of the attributes of a good goalkeeper.
He made this known during a recent interview with Optus Sport, where he named Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen among his favourite goalkeepers.
Speaking during the chat, Van der Sar also said although he likes Liverpool’s Alisson Becker and Manchester City’s Ederson, they are too injury prone.
He went on to say their inability to stay fit makes them inconsistent when compared with Verbruggen.

Asked to name his favourite goalkeepers in the Premier League, he said, “I like Alisson and Ederson, both of them.
“But I think they are a little too much injured at the moment. They are not consistent.
“I like Bart Verbruggen. He is a young Dutch goalkeeper who is doing really well.”
He added, “I expect a little bit more for Raya at Arsenal.
“I think he has to step up his game a little bit more.
“He has all the attributes and the qualities but you have to be more decisive.”
