Arsenal have signed goalkeeper David Raya from Brentford on a permanent basis in a deal worth approximately 27 million.
Raya, who excelled during his loan spell at Arsenal last season, has now formally joined the Gunners, fulfilling an agreement made with Brentford last year.
David Rayas initial move to north London in August was structured as a loan deal, costing Arsenal 3 million, with the expectation that it would transition into a permanent transfer worth 27 million.
This payment structure was designed for financial reasons, rather than any uncertainty on Arsenals part. At the start of a new financial cycle, Arsenal has now finalized the long-term signing of the Spanish goalkeeper.
During his loan spell, David Raya made 41 appearances across all competitions for Arsenal and was awarded the Premier Leagues Golden Glove for keeping the most clean sheets in the division.
