Arsenal retain interest in Brentford keeper David Raya even though he recently signed new long-term contract (reliability: 5 stars)
  • David Raya, 25, has recently signed a new contract with Brentford until 2024 but it includes a minimum fee release clause that could be triggered in the summer of 2021, The Athletic reports.
  • The Spaniard was Arsenal's main goalkeeper target in the latest transfer window but the Bees' reluctance to negotiate a move forced the Gunners to settle for Runar Alex Runarrson.
  • Apart from being a solid goalkeeper, Raya, who came through Blackburn Rovers’ academy, qualifies as a homegrown player, which makes him an even more appealing option.
  • Premier League clubs are not permitted to register more than 17 non-homegrown players on a 25-man squad list (at the moment we have 19).
  • Mikel Arteta will have to take a decision on who to exclude from the list.
