I'd argue that's Rice, Odegaard, one of the two centre backs or Saka (even if he doesn't really put up the numbers - he's the physical emodiment of Arteta's project and synonymous with the club).
Saka - 20 goal involvements in last 24 CL games it said the night before.

What annoys me is that people don't rate Raya enough. He's not a nutter like Mad Jens of Sir Chez {both of whom I loved}, he'd calm and reassuring like Spunky or Paddy J.

The sad reality is that your silverware determines in part how good you are seen to be. Without City's 115 wotsits, Gabby, Willy and Daveed would have 2 titles already and be on for their third and we'd all be saying they're as good as TA, MK, Spunky.

As it is they've won less than Holding and Flappyhandski.

Raya is criminally under-rated imo.
