Arsenal in 'pole position' for David Raya upgrade: report

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has shown that he is not afraid to shake up his goalkeeper department

Arsenal are said to have sought out a new goalkeeper to succeed David Raya.

Raya - who joined the club from Brentfordlast year - has kept 15 clean sheets so far this season but has drawn criticism for some high-profile mistakes.

His positioning for Bruno Fernandes' opener at Old Trafford in the 1-1 draw on Sunday was suspect and that could mean manager Mikel Arteta may look for a new option in between the sticks heading into next season.

Raya – ranked at no.4 in FourFourTwo's list of the best goalkeepers in the world right now – has had a good season, though he isn't perfect. A lackadaisical pass to Declan Rice in their Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Newcastle United springs to mind, with Anthony Gordon pouncing to score.

Arteta has always publicly supported Raya – none more so than after his blunder during a 3-2 win over Tottenham in the North London derby in April 2024 – but should the Spaniard should be fearing the worst?
