Arsenal too good for Barcelona as Gunners secure first win over Blaugrana in 12 years
Arsenal secured a memorable victory over LaLiga title winners Barcelona in their third preseason friendly in preparation for the new season.
According to David Ornstein on Twitter via The Athletics, “Arsenal are exploring a deal to sign Brentford goalkeeper David Raya.
"No bid yet but #BrentfordFC aware of interest. “#FCBayern also pursuing but 27yo keen to join #AFC. #NFFC considering Matt Turner; gap in valuations but dialogue ongoing @TheAthleticFC.”
Raya would fit right in at Arsenal with Mikel Arteta's style of play thanks to his distributing abilities.
But if he joined Arsenal, he'd have to decide if he'd play enough, and the Gunners would have to consider their budgetary limitations.
