Arsenal outperforms Bayern, linked with a surprise move for Brentford goalkeeper

Arsenal FC is being tipped to make a late swoop for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya with the Bees during the current summer Mercato, having reportedly rejected a loan offer from Bayern Munich. Journalist Fabrizio Romano stated that Arsenal had reached an agreement with Spanish goalkeeper Raya about the personal details of his contract, and told his club of his desire to join the Gunners. Romano pointed out that the deal depends on the two clubs agreeing on the value of the Spanish goalkeeper deal, as it is expected that the pace of negotiations will accelerate in the coming days. Bayern Munich had expressed their desire to sign the Spanish goalkeeper, David Raya, to replace their key goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, who is recovering from his injury.
