Regardless of whether Arsenal win the English top-flight title for the first time in 20 years, Arteta aims to enhance his squad this summer. Recently his remarks about David Raya raised worries among Emirates Stadium fans. However, Fabrizio Romano has cleared up any speculation.
Fabrizio said to CaughtOffside: "Many Arsenal fans are asking me about Mikel Arteta’s reply in his press conference about David Raya – congratulations to him, the Golden Glove of the Premier League."
"All I’m told is that despite Arteta saying in public that everything will be decided at the end of the season, for David Raya I’m told the decision was already made in November."
"The verbal agreement between Brentford and Arsenal was for a permanent transfer but because of Financial Fair Play, Arsenal and Brentford agreed on a loan deal with a buy option clause."
"There are no doubts. David Raya already agreed his contract with Arsenal who will pay £27m to Brentford at the end of the season."
As a Goalkeeper, David Raya has conceded 23 goals and kept 15 clean sheets in 30 matches in the Premier League 2023/2024 season. Incredible result for him and Arsenal's defence.
In terms of raw goalkeeping, Raya saved 41 of the 64 shots faced - meaning his save percentage is 64.06%.
