That sounds like a great situation. Keepers just don't get minutes as the backup. Emi wa an exception, but having a worldie in the wings won't be easy.
The backup at Liverpool is pretty good and they have had to use him the last couple of years when Allison got injured I think both this season and the prior season. We don't have anyone near that level which is worrying if Raya got injured.
We need a good backup and the age difference between him and Raya is 5 years. It's a good situation for him to move to a big club like Arsenal and probably play the domestic cups at a minimum.
Plans change very quickly but he was ready to come last summer, only for Espanyol to dig their heels in. Maybe he’s spoken to Arteta and sees a potential pathway - he’s only just turned 24.
