Arsenal have been handed an injury scare ahead of Sunday’s showdown with Manchester City after David Raya missed Wednesday’s clash against Girona. Raya was left out of the squad completely for the Champions League game in Spain, with Mikel Arteta confirming to broadcasters ahead of the match that his first-choice goalkeeper is “not fit”.

Arsenal have made an offer for a new goalkeeper, with David Raya's position between the sticks under fresh focus. Ranked at no.4 in FourFourTwo's list of the best goalkeepers in the world right now, Raya was a controversial signing for the Gunners to some.

Speaking in the Official Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur Matchday Programme, goalkeeper Raya has been speaking about life after Arsenal and how he still wants to remain in the game. Raya stated: “I did my UEFA B last season here at the club. Now I want to start the goalie UEFA B course this month and take it from there.”

Atalanta star Mateo Retegui is one of them. The Italy international has been linked with a move to Arsenal and he has even played against the Gunners this season. David Raya pulled off a double save from the penalty spot in that game to embarrass Retegui.

Arsenal have both Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino starting tonight’s clash with Girona in the Champions League, while Neto makes his debut in goal. The midfield pair both missed Saturday’s eventful 1-0 Premier League win at Wolves, with captain Odegaard suffering with illness and Merino out due to a knock.

Arsenal have been offered the chance to sign former Everton striker Moise Kean who departed the Premier League with just four goals.

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya says the club are confident this season as they chase league leaders Liverpool in an intense title race.

Jorginho is pushing for a start in midfield alongside Declan Rice, with Merino also in line to feature. Arsenal’s front line may see further tweaks, with Kai Havertz set to be rested following his exhaustion against Wolves. Leandro Trossard, who has previously led the line effectively, is a strong contender to start up front.
