Arsenal have reportedly increased David Raya’s salary to recognize his crucial role in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
According to British reports, Arsenal've decided to reward Spanish goalkeeper David Raya with new pay rise following his outstanding performances since joining the club.
Raya who arrived from Brentford on loan in 2023 before signing permanently the following year is now earning around 100000 sterling pound per week.
The BBC revealed that his improved deal which runs until 2028 with option to extend, was agreed during the summer but not officially announced by the club. The arrangement mirrors the one made earlier with Belgian winger Leandro Trossard.
Since his arrival, Raya's become one of the Premier League’s standout goalkeepers. He claimed the Golden Glove award for the 2023 /24 season after keeping the most clean sheets in the competition.
The Spaniard has featured in every league game for Arsenal since March 2024 maintaining 33 clean sheet .. 6 more than any other goalkeeper in the division.
Raya’s consistency has been cornerstone of Arsenal’s impressive start to the 2025 /26 Premier League campaign.
Following their recent victory over West Ham United, the Gunners lead the table with 16 point from 7 match .. 1 point ahead of defending champions Liverpool.
