Overview
- BBC reports Raya finalised improved terms earlier in the summer that lift his wages above the previously reported £100,000 per week, with no change to the 2028 expiry and an option to extend.
- The agreement has not been officially announced by the club, mirroring a low‑profile pay increase given to Leandro Trossard without extending his 2027 deal.
- Raya has cemented himself as Arsenal’s first-choice keeper since arriving from Brentford, winning the Premier League Golden Glove in consecutive seasons.
- He has missed only six league matches for Arsenal and leads the division for clean sheets over that period, underlining the performance basis for the raise.
- Arsenal have opened talks on new terms for Jurrien Timber and are in advanced discussions with Bukayo Saka, as recent extensions for William Saliba and Gabriel signal a wider retention strategy.
