The newest addition to Arsenal Gunners supporters would prefer not to be reminded of the date that is permanently inked on the back of David Raya’s neck.
After Raya’s £3 million loan from Brentford ended, Arsenal will have the option to purchase the goalkeeper for £27 million next summer.
After Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber, he is the north London club’s fourth summer addition. This season, he will go up against Aaron Ramsdale for the gloves at the Emirates Stadium.
Although most Arsenal supporters welcome Raya’s presence and Ramsdale is a well-liked figure, Mikel Arteta’s team may find it difficult to deal with Raya’s neck tattoo.
Raya has ’13-08-2021′ written on it to remember the day he made his Brentford Premier League debut.

Raya has the date of his Premier League debut tattooed on the back of his neck
In2021, he made his Premier League debut against Arsenal, as Brentford defeated the Gunners 2-0.
Against Arsenal, Brentford made their Premier League debut, winning 2-0 due to goals from Christian Norgaard and Sergi Canos.
Although Raya’s great day saw Brentford winning three points in their first-ever Premier League game, it was also a somber occasion in Arsenal’s recent past.
Three games into the season, the team was bottom of the table after losing their next two games without scoring any goals against Chelsea and Manchester City.
They did not place in the top four that season, but they have since recovered, and they finished second last term after making a significant improvement.
As a result, they have made it back to the Champions League, and Raya hopes to participate in that tournament this year as Arsenal attempts to establish itself in Europe once more.
To keep the Arsenal supporters happy, though, he might want to hide his neck tattoo as much as possible!
