Transfer: David Seaman claims Raya will improve Arsenal star

Arsenal legend David Seaman feels signing David Raya will improve Gunners goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Arsenal have reportedly identified Raya as a transfer target ahead of the upcoming 2023/24 season.

The Gunners have already agreed personal terms with Raya but are yet to reach an agreement with Brentford on a transfer fee for the keeper.

“The only way I can compare this is when Arsenal signed Richard Wright when I was number one. They paid a lot of money for him – I say a lot of money, it was £6million which doesn’t sound like much these days! But honestly, it made me a better goalkeeper and I am sure that is what will happen with Aaron,” Seaman said (via talkSPORT).

“You know, you get a chance in training to show what you can do and what sort of standards you’ve got to get to and I’m sure that that is what Aaron will do.

“I’m in no doubt that Aaron will take this competition on and like I say, he will show what he can do and it will definitely make him a better goalkeeper.”
