Arsenal have rewarded goalkeeper David Raya with an improved contract to underline his status as one of Mikel Arteta’s key players.

It is understood the Spain international has finalised terms on a deal that sees Raya earn a pay increase on the contract he signed when joining the club permanently in the summer of 2024.

BBC Sport understands the agreement was struck earlier this summer but has not been officially announced by the club.

Raya earned a reported £100,000-per-week at the Emirates but his wages have increased following the agreement, though the length of his contract is understood to have stayed the same.

His contract currently expires in 2028 – but sources have indicated there is an option to extend the deal.

In a similar agreement, Leandro Trossard penned terms on an improved deal earlier this summer without extending the length of his contract, that expires in 2027.

Like Raya, Trossard’s new deal was not officially confirmed.
