Arsenal considers Yann Sommer as backup to David Raya

Arsenal is exploring the signing of Yann Sommer to serve as a backup to goalkeeper David Raya. Sommer, available on a free transfer after his contract with Inter expired, brings significant experience, including two Serie A titles and a recent Champions League final appearance. The move is prompted by Kepa Arrizabalaga's potential departure from the club, as he seeks regular playing time. While Sommer is a leading candidate, Arsenal is also considering alternatives such as Mathew Ryan, Illan Meslier, and Stefan Ortega. Competition for Sommer's signature is expected from Club Brugge and Ajax, indicating Arsenal may need to act swiftly.
