The odds are currently in favour of Arsenal acquiring David Raya from Brentford this summer.
The Arsenal have had a great window so far, don’t you think? Although they have signed Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, and Kai Havertz, Mikel Arteta’s contract appears to still be open.
The Daily Mail reports that Arteta’s team is the front-runner and that Arsenal is now again interested in Brentford standout Raya.
The current frontrunner to recruit David Raya is Arsenal.
Keeper was the last position that Arsenal supporters anticipated seeing reinforced this summer.
Aaron Ramsdale is a superb number one for the Gunners. The Englishman, who is unquestionably one of the best in the nation at his position, saved them on multiple times last season.
His backup, Matt Turner, is more than capable of filling in at number two. He performed admirably for the USMNT recently, as well as during his successful first season last year.
But Arteta appears eager to replace Ramsdale in goal with a far superior player, and according to multiple rumours, David Raya is the player the Arsenal manager is most interested in.
The Gunners are now the “frontrunners” to recruit the “world-class” Spaniard, according to The Mail, ahead of German champions Bayern Munich.
Raya’s asking price from Brentford is reportedly £40 million, although Arsenal is attempting to reach an agreement for a sum more in line with £30 million.
It will be interesting to watch if Arteta can catch his man.
He desires to sign for Arsenal.
For a while now, David Raya has been on the wanted list.
It is no secret that the Spaniard wants to leave Brentford for a bigger team in the upcoming weeks since he has entered the final year of his contract with the Bees.
Before signing Guglielmo Vicario, Tottenham really wanted him, and one of the top clubs in Europe, Bayern Munich, is also making a strong effort to sign him.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano on Twitter/X Sunday, Raya is rumoured to favour a transfer to Arsenal.
