Arsenal Eyeing Ambitious Move for Brentford’s Goalkeeper David Raya
|Arsenal are looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. According to reports, the Gunners are considering a move for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya.
The North Londoners have Aaron Ramsdale and Matt Turner as their main goalkeepers. However, recent rumours suggest that Matt Turner might be on his way out, with Nottingham Forest showing keen interest in the American. Speculations are rife that Turner could fetch a hefty sum of around £15 million.
Now, amidst all the transfer buzz, The Athletic has dropped a bombshell – Arsenal are eyeing an ambitious move for the Brentford shot-stopper David Raya, who is apparently ready for a new challenge, and the North Londoners are keen to add him to their ranks.
The Spaniard has been turning heads with his performances for Brentford, and it’s no surprise that the club values him highly. Reports indicate that Brentford has slapped a £40 million price tag on Raya, but the Gunners are likely to negotiate a lower fee, especially since his contract expires next summer.
This isn’t the first time Arsenal has shown interest in Raya. Back in 2021, he was linked to the club, but the Gunners eventually signed Aaron Ramsdale instead. However, it seems the club’s interest in Raya has been reignited, and the player himself is keen on the potential move.
