Arsenal is ready to buy Brentford's goalkeeper

Arsenal finished the current Premier League season in second place and is considering strengthening their squad.

According to Fabrizio Romano, they are ready to purchase Brentford's goalkeeper David Raya. The Gunners are taking official steps to activate the option to buy David Raya for £27 million in the coming days.

Arsenal's head coach Mikel Arteta explained why he decided to bring goalkeeper David Raya to the London team last summer. The 28-year-old Raya joined Arsenal on loan from Brentford last summer.

However, the Spanish goalkeeper displaced Ramsdale from Arsenal's goal frame. Raya played 39 matches in all competitions, conceding 30 goals with 19 clean sheets.

Raya was awarded the Premier League Golden Glove for the 2023/24 season, which is given annually to the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in the English league. This season, David kept 15 clean sheets in the Premier League.
