If successfully recruiting David Raya, Arsenal will complete the necessary contracts to prepare for the thorny 2023/24 season.
According to The Athletic, Arsenal are planning to sign David Raya. Earlier, it was reported that the Spanish goalkeeper arrived at Tottenham Hotspur. However, the deal suddenly fell apart at the last minute. On the other hand, Spurs also brought in Guglielmo Vicario to improve the quality of the wooden frame. Therefore, David Raya is very close to Arsenal.
Bayern Munich also voiced their desire to have the service of David Raya. However, the priority of the goalkeeper born in 1995 is to land at Emirates Stadium. Overall, this is the right signature for the North London club. And if successfully recruiting David Raya, The Gunners can close the summer 2023 transfer window perfectly.
After last season’s success and finishing in the Premier League as runners-up, Arsenal earned a lot of TV rights and bonuses. Therefore, coach Mikel Arteta confidently demands more from the leadership. In fact, the players Arsenal has brought back are “scratching the right itch”, especially in the case of Declan Rice.
Declan Rice not only went down in history as the most expensive star, instead he was also an important piece to elevate the Gunners thanks to his comprehensiveness. Meanwhile, Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz are both versatile elements, able to play in many positions. At one point, Arsenal once paid special attention to Romeo Lavia as a backup plan in case Thomas Partey left.
However, Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Ghana international will stay as no club can meet Arsenal’s €45 million fee. Therefore, Arsenal turned to David Raya to create stronger competition. There are many similarities between David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale, from height to the ability to play quite well.
Even David Raya is better than his colleagues in terms of age and experience. Therefore, if he does not want to lose the main catch, Aaron Ramsdale needs to maintain a stable performance. Not to mention, the North London club will have to strain in the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup arenas.
Owning two goalkeepers of almost equal quality is a great advantage of the Emirates Stadium team. At that time, Arsenal can rest assured to let Matt Turner leave. At this time, Nottingham Forest raised the issue of recruiting the American goalkeeper. This deal promises to help Arsenal earn a large profit.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal was in a different position. No longer a stingy name in the transfer market, the North London club now knows how to spend money on worthy and world-class players. Next season, The Gunners promise to be worth watching and become a great counterweight to Manchester City.
