REPORTS indicate that Arsenal are set to get one piece of business done imminently, with the club ‘set to announce’ the permanent signing of goalkeeper David Raya – their first addition of the summer.
According to The Sun, they have activated the £27m purchase option in their loan agreement with Brentford, so he can now be considered an Arsenal player.
The 28-year-old performed well last season in a campaign that saw him replace Aaron Ramsdale as Arteta’s first-choice shot-stopper.

Ramsdale, meanwhile, continues to be linked with a move away from the Emirates as he looks for more consistent playing time elsewhere.
Chelsea and Wolves have previously been linked with the England international, who is currently away on international duty at Euro 2024 but is yet to feature in the tournament.
Reports suggest that Arsenal are considering signing Espanyol keeper Joan Garcia as a replacement for Ramsdale.
What’s certain, though, is that Raya will be playing in a Gunners shirt again in the coming season, this time on a permanent deal.
