David Raya Martín (22 - on loan from Brentford)

[Ach]

Arsenal are considering a double swoop for Brentford pair Said Benrahma and David Raya, according to 90Min.

The Bees were beaten in the Championship play-off final last month and their failure to reach the Premier League means a number of their star players may now look to move on.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has already recruited Brentford's head of set pieces Andreas Georgson and goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana, and they have recommended he raid their former club again for forward Benrahma and goalkeeper Raya.

No thanks

Arsenal have opened talks with Brentford over a potential deal for Spanish goalkeeper David Raya, 24. (90min)

Don’t bother

[Ach]

Left out of the Brentford squad for their game

Move is imminent apparently

I hope his fee is less than what we get for Emi otherwise its pointless, losing a HG player, better off convincing Emi to fight for his place

keep macey invest the money for partey or auoar

Bidded £10m according to the sun

No details of the bid yet but given he weren’t in the brentford squad I’d assume he’s out of here

Nah Macey is completely unproven, we'd be so f*cked if Leno got a red card or an injury.

[Angelito]

Poor man's David Ospina.

Going from a GK who commanded the box to someone who supremely messed up in the playoff final.

If it's of any consolation, he's exactly the type of goalkeeper we have had in the Emirates era until the emergence of Leno/Martinez.

[CrimsonGunner11]

He’s at a good age, fwiw.

[Santi]

think its mostly the link with the GK coach and the HG factor since we're losing that with Emi.


They must see something in him, I thought when the rumour was 3m it made sense since he was cheap but if it' now in the region of 10m it's a bit odd.

[Highbury Hillbilly]

How much are Fulham paying for Areola's loan? Bit naff to have a keeper named after a nipple, but if it's £5m or less I'd take that.
