David Raya is on the verge of signing for Arsenal, with reports suggesting a medical will take place this week after the Gunners reached a full agreement with Brentford for the goalkeeper.
It is understood a fee in the region of £30m has been agreed between the two London clubs.
As Raya has been a Premier League no.1 for several years, he is expected to compete with Aaron Ramsdale for a place in Arsenal’s best XI.
Ramsdale’s form has been questionable in 2023 but he has now sent a message to his soon-to-be rival:
“Bring it on,” Ramsdale told ITV Sport when asked about Raya’s expected arrival.
“Nothing comes easy in football, but you need to move along and need to adapt as well yourself.
“I’m sure whoever plays, me, Matt [Turner], whoever comes in… the goalkeeper union, people will laugh at it but it’s a real thing. Your individual disappointment will go away and you put the team first and you put that goalkeeper first.”
