Raya opens up on how Arsenal is helping their new teammates settle fast

Arsenal is widely regarded as one of the leading football clubs in European football, and much of its recent progress has been attributed to the influence of Mikel Arteta. Since his appointment, the manager has overseen not only tactical improvements on the pitch but also a significant cultural shift within the dressing room.

One of Arteta’s most notable achievements has been the transformation of the team environment into one that resembles a family. This sense of unity has helped elevate results and re-establish Arsenal as a force in domestic and European competitions. The Gunners are now viewed as a side capable of consistently challenging for silverware, and the atmosphere within the squad is a key part of their success.

A Welcoming Environment

The emphasis on harmony within the dressing room has had a tangible impact on player integration. New signings are able to settle quickly, benefiting from a positive environment in which they feel supported from the start. This cohesion has allowed Arsenal to strengthen their squad while maintaining consistency, with each addition adapting rapidly to life at the Emirates.

Goalkeeper David Raya, who has experienced this atmosphere first-hand, recently spoke about the welcoming culture within the squad. Speaking via Arsenal Media, Raya explained: “I’m very happy with everyone and I think it’s very easy to integrate into this dressing room. We have welcomed them with open arms. We try to be as a group and try to welcome the players as well as possible to settle in as quickly as possible so that they can just focus on football and helping the team.”

Building for Success

Such comments underline the importance of team culture to Arsenal’s progress under Arteta. The environment encourages focus on football while removing unnecessary distractions, enabling players to perform at their best. It also helps foster resilience, ensuring that the squad maintain unity in challenging periods of the season.

With a strong blend of established stars and new signings, Arsenal’s ability to sustain this culture will be critical as they aim to compete for honours again this year. The combination of tactical discipline and a family-like atmosphere has created a foundation for lasting success, making the Gunners one of the most admired clubs in the modern game.
