The latest news, rumours, opinions and updates about Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya from Arsenal Insider.

The Spaniard’s switch from the Bees to the Gunners also included a £27m option to buy that the north London natives took up in July 2024.

The shot-stopper had also worked with goalkeeper coach Inaki Cana Pavon at Brentford and reunited in north London. Raya even quickly replaced Aaron Ramsdale to be Arsenal’s No1 in September 2023.
