Arsenal clinch loan deal for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya

Arsenal have signed goalkeeper David Raya on a season-long loan from Brentford, with the option of making the move permanent next summer.

Raya played in all 38 Premier League games last season, keeping 11 clean sheets as the Bees clinched an excellent ninth-placed finish.

The 27-year-old Spaniard will provide serious competition for the club's regular number one, Aaron Ramsdale.

"We welcome David to us on a season-long loan. David is a top-quality goalkeeper, who has consistently performed to a high level with Brentford in the Premier League," Arsenal Sporting Director Edu said.

"With David joining us we are adding quality and depth to our squad so we can perform at the highest possible level in all competitions."
