Arsenal ‘explore’ David Raya transfer in left-field move that threatens Aaron Ramsdale

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has already admitted that it is an “open secret” that the club will let Raya go if their valuation is met. ”He is a Brentford player so far as I know,” Frank said on Saturday.

“He has been training hard, a good professional. He has been a top I can’t praise him enough. Incredibly good in terms of being a top pro, training well and really, really good and positive.

“I think it’s natural that he would like to leave if it’s a good opportunity for him. We all think it’s a good idea at the right price. That means probably means it is probably going towards that and we are focusing on the other keepers we have. It is a good dialogue and everything is in a fine place.”
