Arsenal end plans for David Raya after Brentford promotion

Arsenal will have to look elsewhere as a deal for Brentford goalkeeper David Rya is looking improbable.

Per The Sun, Arsenal have been assessing Raya for more than a year, as he impressed their goalkeeping coach Inaki Ryan.

The 25-year-old had a release clause of £10 million in his Brentford contract, but it would only have gone into effect if they were still in the Championship next season.

As Brentford are now a Premier League club after winning the playoffs, a deal for Raya looks all but dead.

If Arsenal lose first choice keeper Bernd Leno this summer, they will have to look elsewhere for his replacement.
