Brentford expect goalkeeper David Raya to join Arsenal and the Spaniard will not play in Sunday's home Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur, manager Thomas Frank said on Friday.

The West Londoners finished ninth in their second Premier League campaign and signed Dutch goalkeeper Mark Flekken from Bundesliga side Freiburg on a four-year contract in May.

Raya has been with Brentford since they were in the Championship.

Media reports have spoken of a loan deal for an initial £3 million, with an option for a permanent transfer for £27m, to provide competition for England keeper Aaron Ramsdale.

"I expect the deal will be completed with Arsenal. He’s not here at the moment and won’t be involved on Sunday," said Frank.

"Mark Flekken was one of the best keepers in the Bundesliga last year. I like his personality; he is a leader. I like his distribution and dominance in the area.

"From the first game in America to Lille, he has got better each time."
