Merson Urges Arteta to Start Kepa in Carabao Cup Final
In the lead-up to the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Arsenal legend Paul Merson has urged manager Mikel Arteta to select Kepa Arrizabalaga as the starting goalkeeper instead of David Raya. Merson argues that the 31-year-old Kepa has proven himself in crucial matches and deserves to be the first choice for this significant game.
He emphasizes that Kepa has taken the team to the Carabao Cup final and should not be overlooked in favor of Raya. Merson's comments highlight the importance of making a decisive choice for the goalkeeping position, especially as Arsenal leads the Premier League.
His insights were shared in an interview with Sportskeeda, where he stressed the need for fair play and acknowledged Kepa's contributions to the team.
