David Raya is in line to become Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer.
Journalist Ben Jacobs has told GIVEMESPORT, Arsenal will only strengthen their options in midfield and at left-back if there is a key development at the Emirates.
The Gunners made a positive start to their Premier League campaign with a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest last weekend. They are also planning to add more players before the deadline ends.
David Raya is in line to become Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer. A deal for the Brentford goalkeeper is being finalised. The Gunners agreed personal terms with Raya earlier this month as they looked to fight off competition for his services.
Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor spoke to GIVEMESPORT that he fears Raya’s arrival at the Emirates will backfire as Arteta looks to keep him and Aaron Ramsdale happy.
Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT: “The fact that Turner went for a fee and Raya is coming in for only a loan fee upfront that is smaller than that fee does give Arsenal a little bit of flexibility.
“But if they’re to strengthen in midfield, it will be because we get an exit first. If they’re to strengthen at left-back, it will perhaps be because Kieran Tierney departs, and that situation is still unclear.
“Arsenal have not exactly got a burning hole in their pocket just to spend for the sake of spending. They’ve already had an excellent and thorough window, so the last few weeks are really only about buying if they desperately need to or outgoings allow.”
