Arsenal could take advantage of a £27million option to make Raya’s move permanent.
Arsenal are planning to offer a permanent deal for their first-choice goalkeeper David Raya. They are preparing documents to complete the contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has exclusively spoken to GIVEMESPORT that it is ‘just a matter of time’. Arsenal signed him on loan from Brentford and he became a regular member for Mikel Arteta.
The Brentford loanee has overtaken Aaron Ramsdale in the pecking order a matter of months after the Englishman penned a £120,000-per-week contract.
According to Sky Sports, the North London club could take advantage of a £27million option to make Raya’s move permanent.
David Raya has made 161 appearances for Brentford and Arsenal wants to keep him at the end of the season. Italian journalist Romano recently spoke to GIVEMESPORT that the Gunners have already agreed a deal with Brentford.
The 28-year-old has insisted that battling with Ramsdale for a regular starting berth has made him a better goalkeeper.
Fabrizio Romano said, “I don’t know when it will happen, but it is just a matter of time because everything is already agreed, including on the player’s side. Raya already agreed the contract with Arsenal, and it is going to be a long-term deal. “He already said yes to all the conditions last summer, so it’s just about preparing documents and signing at the best moment for Arsenal and Brentford. Raya will be an Arsenal goalkeeper next season and in the future.”
