Arsenal are gearing up to negotiate a new long-term contract with David Raya. The club is keen to secure the future of their number one goalkeeper in Mikel Arteta's plans.
The Spaniard's current deal runs until 2028. Recently, the 31-year-old expressed a desire to test himself in La Liga, which has prompted Arsenal to ramp up their efforts to keep him at the club.
Sports journalist Pete O'Rourke weighed in on Raya's situation, expressing confidence in Arsenal’s position.
I don’t think Arsenal will be overly concerned. He has a contract until 2028, and I’m sure they’ll look to sit down and discuss a new deal with him, as he is undeniably the first choice under Arteta, and I expect him to remain so in the foreseeable future.
This Premier League season, Raya has kept five clean sheets in eight appearances, and in September, he earned the award for the save of the month. His reliable performances in the Champions League have also seen him achieve two clean sheets out of three matches.
