Brentford boss Thomas Frank sends message to Arsenal over ‘simple’ David Raya transfer
Thomas Frank has provided an update on the future of Brentford star David Raya after Arsenal moved ahead of Bayern Munich in the race to sign him.
Arsenal are looking to secure a shock deal to bring in goalkeeper Raya with Mikel Arteta a long-time admirer of his Spanish compatriot.
Bayern Munich had also been linked with the 27-year-old but reports indicate that Raya prefers a move to north London and Arsenal are expected to bid soon to accelerate talks, while negotiations with the German side are now off.
The Gunners already have Aaron Ramsdale as their No.1 goalkeeper – with American Matt Turner acting as an understudy – but Arteta wants to bring in higher quality cover and competition for the the England international.
