‘Arsenal are completing formal documents’: Romano says Gunners now closing in on ‘brilliant’ player purchase

The Gunners have improved significantly since Arteta took the reins in 2019, but the Premier League title has sadly eluded them for the second season in a row.

However, with solid foundations in place, there’s certainly scope for Arsenal to go all the way next year, providing they bolster their ranks further in the coming weeks.

Now, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update regarding the Gunners and a player that they should be buying very soon.

The player in question is David Raya, who joined Arsenal last summer on a loan deal from Brentford with a £27million option to buy.

Raya quickly dethroned Aaron Ramsdale as first-choice in between the sticks and maintained this position for the vast majority of the season.

Romano has taken to X to report that Arsenal are now completing the formal documentation to sign the Spanish goalkeeper permanently.

Arsenal always likely to get David Raya deal over the line

Although some journalists said Raya to Arsenal wasn’t a foregone conclusion, the Gunners were always likely to get a permanent deal over the line.

Arteta has been happy with Raya’s displays and attitude at the Emirates Stadium, and he plays in a way that resonates with the Arsenal boss.

It shouldn’t be long before the ‘brilliant‘ keeper is the subject of an official announcement by Arsenal announcing his permanent switch to N5.
