Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Spanish goalkeeper David Raya from Brentford, creating high-level competition in their goalkeeper position.
The 27-year-old shot-stopper joined the Bees from Blackburn in the summer of 2019 and has been integral to their promotion to the Premier League and keeping their status.
However, despite being an important figure in the Brentford setting, Raya desired grander things and refused contract renewal advances, insisting on moving on for a fresh challenge.
