Transfer: Arsenal’s deal for Raya to be finalised in 24 hours

Arsenal are on the verge of finalising a deal to sign goalkeeper David Raya from Brentford.

Raya has entered the final year of his contract with the Bees and the clubs have been working on a compromise.

Brentford valued Raya at £40m – it’s understood the deal is worth in the region of £30m.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is a long-term admirer of Raya and has tried to sign him before.

As Raya deal nears completion, Nottingham Forest are close to signing Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner.

Turner has had a medical with Forest.

Cautious optimism both deals will be completed in the next 24 hours.
