Arsenal transfer news: Gunners’ secret summer signing revealed ...Middle East

Arsenal made a secret signing during the last summer transfer window. It was not announced by the club and has just been revealed.

Arrived in August 2023 in the form of a loan with a purchase option from Brentford, David Raya will have cost Arsenal around £29.9m. It is a worthwhile investment for the Gunners, who have thus found their number one goalkeeper for many years.

Indeed, the 30-year-old Spanish goalkeeper has been an undisputed starter in the London club's goal since his arrival and still is today. In the greatest secrecy, Arsenal even rewarded their last line of defence during the last winter transfer window.

According to information from the BBC, David Raya has signed a new contract with the Gunners. The duration of the latter has not changed and the former Blackburn player is still tied to Arsenal until June 2028. However, the Spain international has seen his emoluments increase.

Thus, he would earn a little over £100.000 per week, a little over £5m per year. The British media indicate that the London club are in the habit of behaving this way with their players since Leandro Trossard did exactly the same thing earlier in the year.

An undisputed starter for Mikel Arteta

It should be noted that the Gunners would have the possibility of extending David Raya's contract beyond 2028, according to the same source. The Spanish goalkeeper seems, in any case, to be unanimously approved at Arsenal, who have not been in any recent rumours on the goalkeeper market. Mikel Arteta trusts him as evidenced by this start to the season.

Raya has thus been a starter in the first 7 Premier League matches and the first 2 Champions League matches for the London club, whilst Kepa Arrizabalaga has been content with the English club's first EFL Cup match. This trend should continue throughout this season.
