Arsenal receive boost after £23m David Raya bid’ as goalkeeper sends shocking transfer message to Brentford

Arsenal have reportedly submitted their opening bid for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya as Mikel Arteta looks to provide stronger competition for current stopper Aaron Ramsdale. Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United all baulked at the Bees’ £40million valuation of the Spain international, who is set on a move to the Emirates.

Fabrizio Romano has claimed that an offer of £20m up front with a further £3m in add-ons has been sent to Brentford on Thursday evening, £17m shy of their previous valuation after the 27-year-old has already told the Bees that he wants to leave for Arsenal.

Personal terms have already been agreed upon, while if a move is completed then current Gunners number two Matt Turner would be likely to leave – with Nottingham Forest interested in the American star.

Brentford have been open regarding their stance on Raya, with boss Thomas Frank admitting that they are prepared to let him leave if their valuation of £40m is met – though he does have just one year remaining on his contract and is unwilling to pen a new deal.

“Like everything it’s a negotiation,” Frank said when news first broke of Arsenal’s interest. “I would love to get £40m. That’s what he’s worth. I think he’s one of the best keepers, he was one of the four best keepers in the Premier League last season, so what is the price?

“And [Harry] Kane you’re talking one year left and £150m. The keeper is at his best age I think. But anyway a good thing I am not negotiating. That is for Phil [Giles] and Matthew [Benham] and Arsenal. I just take care of the coaching.”

According to latest reports from Fabrizio, Arsenal’s offer was rejected However both sides remain in talk with Brentford desperate to sell the Spaniard who has just 1 year in his contract.

If successful, Raya would join Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber as Mikel Arteta’s summer recruits in a spree that would surpass the £200m mark as they look to go one better than last season and dethrone Manchester City.

Done deal: Arsenal have completed their first bit of business on deadline day this morning as club announce transfer of Portuguese defender

Nuno Tavares has joined Nottingham Forest on an initial loan deal with a £12million option to buy. The 23-year-old arrived in 2021 and had a mixed first season in north London, playing 28 matches and scoring one goal. After the arrival of Alex Zinchenko though, the Portugal under-21 international was sent out on loan to Marseille, and despite a decent campaign in Ligue 1 he is no longer viewed as part of Mikel Arteta’s plans. Tavares has attracted interest from Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen this summer. However, as football.london reported earlier this month, the player’s preference has been to stay in the Premier League. West Ham reportedly showed interest, but never made an official approach, while Aston Villa explored the possibility of a loan deal. Nottingham Forest however, showed the most interest as Steve Cooper looks to bolster his full back options. Forest had just one orthodox left back in Harry Toffolo prior to Tavares’ arrival, although he has missed the season so far thr...

Arsenal cheated Man United? PGMOL chief explain wrong VAR angle mistake as Ten Hag fumes over offside call – SEE VIDEO

Hình ảnh
Mike Dean can understand why Erik ten Hag was angered by the decision to disallow Alejandro Garnacho’s strike in Manchester United’s defeat to Arsenal. United thought they had won it at the Emirates when Garnacho slotted home in the 88th minute. However, VAR overturned the on-field decision and came to the conclusion that Garnacho was offside, having been played through on goal by Casemiro. That decision proved costly for United as Arsenal grabbed two late goals to claim the win. Declan Rice hammered home via a deflection to put Mikel Arteta’s side in front, after Martin Odegaard had cancelled out Marcus Rashford’s opener. This was all before Gabriel Jesus sealed all three points with a fine finish in the 101st minute. Ten Hag cut a frustrated figure in his post-match interview with Sky Sports and fumed at three key decisions. One of which was Garnacho’s disallowed goal, insisting that the technology had it wrong. The United boss said: “It’s not offside. [It’s the] Wrong angle.” Al...

Arsenal chief meets Newcastle directors to discuss the transfer of £55 million-valued England midfielder before DEADLINE DAY

After deciding against a deal for Kieran Tierney, Newcastle United have now turned their attention to another Arsenal player. The Magpies’ interest in Tierney ended as soon as Lewis Hall arrived, and the Scot has now taken his talents to Real Sociedad on loan. However, Tierney is not the only player who Newcastle have looked to sign from Arsenal. Heading into transfer deadline day, there is a lot of speculation surrounding the future of Emile Smith Rowe. He was previously called a ‘special‘ talent, but injury has halted his progress. The 23-year-old barely featured during the Gunners’ title charge last season, and has started the new campaign on the bench. That has led to speculation that he could leave the Emirates Stadium, with Eddie Howe’s side reportedly keen. Arsenal will not loan Emile Smith Rowe to Newcastle According to 90min, both Newcastle and Aston Villa have contacted Arsenal about signing Smith Rowe on loan before the transfer window closes on Friday night. However, ...
