Arsenal Goalkeeper David Raya Receives Improved Contract

Arsenal has rewarded goalkeeper David Raya with an improved contract, emphasizing his importance as one of Mikel Arteta's key players.

Sources indicate that the Spain international has finalized terms on a deal that provides him with a salary increase from the contract he signed upon joining the club permanently in the summer of 2024.

BBC Sport reports that this agreement was reached earlier this summer, although the club has yet to make an official announcement.

Raya's previous salary at the Emirates was approximately £100,000 per week; however, his wages have risen following the new agreement. The length of his contract remains unchanged, expiring in 2028, but there is an option to extend.

Similarly, Leandro Trossard also signed an improved contract earlier this summer without extending the length of his existing deal, which is set to expire in 2027. Like Raya, Trossard's new contract has not been officially confirmed.

Since joining Arsenal from Brentford, initially on loan in the summer of 2023, Raya has established himself as one of the top goalkeepers in English football. He won the Premier League's Golden Gloves award for the 2023/24 season and retained the accolade last season, sharing the trophy with Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mats Sels.

In other news, as reported by BBC Sport last week, Arsenal has initiated discussions with Jurrien Timber regarding a new long-term deal. The club is also optimistic about Bukayo Saka renewing his contract, with discussions reportedly in advanced stages. Additionally, France defender William Saliba has recently signed a new five-year deal with the Gunners, while his center-back partner Gabriel Magalhaes extended his contract until 2029 in June.
