Arsenal has made their first signing of the January transfer window. The player’s salary was released and confirmed last night, and a 4-year deal was signed. The player will undergo medical tests today, and fans will be able to welcome their first new player today.

As soon as the talks at the Emirates Stadium were over, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano told GIVEMESPORT that Arsenal would make an official announcement about David Raya’s ultimate arrival “soon.”

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta took a chance on adding more goalkeepers in the summer transfer window, even though he signed Aaron Ramsdale to a new £120,000-a-week deal in May.

Before being picked by Arsenal, Raya played 62 times in the Premier League for Brentford and kept 20 clean sheets. As of now, since moving to North London, Raya has become Arteta’s first choice.

Gunners can keep Raya’s switch safe.

News from Sky Sports says that Arsenal can pay £27 million to make Raya’s loan deal official. Arsenal will have to keep the goalie if certain conditions are met in the last few months of the season.

The story says that the Gunners paid £3 million to sign the Spanish player for the 2023–24 season. He has already played 20 times since joining. They will have to pay a total of £30 million if he stays at the Emirates Stadium for the next season.

A move to Stamford Bridge has not happened, even though Chelsea thought about giving Ramsdale a way out during the winter transfer window. He has fallen in the order since Raya has become one of Arsenal’s first-choice players.

Romano, an Italian journalist who recently spoke with GIVEMESPORT, says that the Gunners will make their first big purchase of 2024 in the Brentford loanee. The team is doing this because they want to make sure they don’t break any money rules in the trade market.

It is thought that Arsenal decided to sign Raya on a short-term loan because they didn’t want to break the club’s spending rules after breaking the record earlier in the summer by spending £105 million to get Declan Rice from West Ham United.

Even though Arteta got flak when he switched between the sticks, the former Blackburn Rovers goalie has said that competing with Ramsdale for a starting spot has made him better.

Soon, Raya’s long-term deal with Fabrizio Romano will be official.
Romano is aware that Arsenal is about to announce that Raya will be staying at the Emirates Stadium forever, since the terms of the deal with Brentford were already agreed upon in the summer.

The reliable reporter knows that the north Londoners wanted to sign the 28-year-old to a long-term deal at first, but had to change their minds when they realized they were taking a big financial risk by doing so. They were fortunate that his parent club was ready to help.

When GIVEMESPORT asked Romano when Raya’s final move could be confirmed, Romano replied.

Soon, it will happen. It sounds like they’ve already agreed to it, but I don’t know when they will make it public.

They made up their minds about it in the summer. The Raya deal was meant to last forever at first, but Financial Fair Play made them change the way the deal was set up.

Even though Brentford chose to help Arsenal with that, nothing will change as a result. The deal will now be official.

Arsenal is considering getting Gimenez.
Football Insider says Arsenal is thinking about whether to sign Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord before three of their London rivals. The Dutch team, on the other hand, would rather let Gimenez leave in the summer because they think they can get a better price that way.

The story says that West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, and the Arsenal are all interested in signing the Mexico international. The player from another country has had a great season, scoring 21 goals and setting up five others in 23 games.

However, Gimenez’s great play has made La Liga giants Real Madrid keep an eye on his progress and may even try to test Feyenoord’s resolve, but the Bernabeu is not currently one of their top targets.
