Arsenal have signed Spanish goalkeeper David Raya on a season-long loan from Brentford with the option to make the move permanent.

Raya, 27, will provide competition for England keeper Aaron Ramsdale and has been taken the number 22 shirt.

He kept 11 Premier League clean sheets last season as the Bees finished ninth.

"David is a top-quality goalkeeper, who has consistently performed to a high level with Brentford," said Arsenal sporting director Edu.

    Goalkeeper is prepared to sit on a bench rather than play week in week out.
    Something must have happened behind the scenes.

    A better and calmer keeper than Ramsdale. He will improve them

    Not 100% about this one.. undoubtedly a good player, but Ramsdale has been nothing but quality and if he feels the need to justify his place in the starting XI he might start trying to show his ability in games which can lead to mistakes leading to goals conceded.

    Turner was a capable backup/cup keeper - I don't think a top club needs 2 top quality gks in all honesty - City, Liverpool, Utd, etc.

    When you get into the meat and bones of this transfer, it's an incredible bit of business. Interesting to see what happens with Ramsdale. Neither of them will want to be the number 2 goalkeeper.

    How does loaning out your No.1 keeper to a better team benefit you in any way?
