Spain goalkeeper set to move in time for new seasonArsenal reject Monaco offer for Folarin Balogun
Arsenal have agreed a deal worth close to £30m for the Brentford goalkeeper David Raya, who is expected to complete a move to the Emirates Stadium in time for the new Premier League season.
Raya’s arrival will mean Arsenal land a long-term target. They made multiple bids for the Spain international in the summer of 2020 but could not reach an agreement with Brentford, who were battling to secure promotion from the Championship at the time. Three years on Mikel Arteta has got his man and Brentford have achieved a significant return on a player who cost them £2.7m when he signed from Blackburn in 2019.
