DEAL ALMOST DONE: Raya Deal, Player undergoes Medical, Set to be Announced

Raya told to turn down Arsenal

Ex-Tottenham striker Darren Bent has urged David Raya to turn down a move to Arsenal in favour of Premier League rivals Chelsea.

“David Raya is better than Kepa Arrizabalaga,” he told talkSPORT. “So why would Chelsea not go for him? And why would David Raya not think, ‘Hold on, why am I going to Arsenal to play behind Aaron Ramsdale? Why don’t I go to Chelsea and be their number one?’

“There’s something not quite right with Arsenal’s deal for David Raya. If I was Chelsea, I would be trying to get him.”

Trusty undergoes Sheffield United medical

Auston Trusty is on the verge of leaving Arsenal for Sheffield United after undergoing a medical with the newly-promoted side. The Gunners are set to receive around £5m for his services with a deal having been thrashed out over the past couple of days.

Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom has confirmed that a deal is almost complete. Speaking to Radio Sheffield, he said: “I said I will give you my normal answer… But I think we are virtually there with that. He’s had a medical and we’re ready to go. It’s between the clubs.”
