Raya has the highest clean sheets of 13 games and the fewest goals conceded – playing in all 38 league games of the 2024/2025 season.

Following his successful seasons for Arsenal that have finished in second place for three consecutive seasons, a report cited in The Sun indicate that Raya’s success may result in him being a target for some La Liga clubs.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were named on their Tuesday report as likely destinations.

Martinez left Arsenal in 2018 in search of regular playing time and was a World Cup winner with Argentina in 2022.

Martinez was sent off in Aston Villa’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in their last game of the season on Sunday.

Arsenal will allow second choice goalkeeper Neto return to parent club, Bournemouth, after a season long loan deal.

The Brazilian played only one game all season for Mikel Arteta’s side – an FA Cup game back in January.

A competitor for the first choice custodian is in demand at the club with several goalkeepers linked with a move to the club.

According to ace football journalist, Don Draper, on his X account, Aston Villa have in fact tried in vain previously to cash in on the experienced goalkeeper.

“Without the CL, Aston Villa also need to comply with the PL’s new financial rules.

“They’ve been trying for a while to offload Emiliano Martinez, & they did the same with Douglas Luiz, who is set to leave and wants to return to the Premier League since Juventus no longer want to keep him.”

Arsenal will travel to Hong Kong this summer for their preseason friendlies

Iyabo Ojo Reveals Mohbad's House CCTV Camera Was Never Functional Bisina Somto In the wake of the tragic demise of Nigerian singer, Mohbad, the public eagerly awaited answers and closure. Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo recently provided a significant update, revealing that the investigation into Mohbad's death has taken an unexpected turn. As of today, the Nigeria Police Force is still awaiting the results of the toxicology report from the autopsy conducted on Mohbad, who passed away on September 12, 2023. Iyabo Ojo took to her Instagram account on October 17 to share these developments. She informed the public that Mohbad's case has been handed over to the Directorate of Public Prosecution, indicating the seriousness of the investigation. Furthermore, she disclosed the fact that Mohbad's body remains with the police since his exhumation in September. Ojo also revealed that the surveillance cameras in Mohbad's residence were never connected. As a result, there is no footage to shed light on the events leading up to his untimely death. Ojo went on to provide additional insights, stating, "Mohbad's wife has been interrogated three times to the best of my knowledge." Two of these interrogations occurred on the day when Mohbad's father was televised by the police, addressing the public about the case. On the same day, Mohbad's father, mother, and wife were transported to Panti for further questioning and to provide their statements. Another round of questioning of Mohbad's wife took place on September 21, 2023, during which she was absent, leading to speculations involving Tonto and Senator Ishaku Abbo. Mohbad's sudden and mysterious death in September triggered nationwide peaceful protests, as Nigerians called for a thorough investigation. The police responded by conducting an autopsy after exhuming his body from his grave in Ikorodu. The official police report attributed Mohbad's death to a reaction from three injections administered by an auxiliary nurse. Despite this revelation, Nigerians are still awaiting crucial results, including the toxicology report. The investigation, which has involved questioning over 20 individuals, has yielded the identification of five suspects in Mohbad's case. These include Feyisayo Ogendengbe, the nurse who administered the injections, Ayobami Sadiq (aka Spending), a friend who invited the nurse, Owodunni Ibrahim (aka Primeboy), who allegedly had a physical altercation with the deceased a day before his death, and Naira Marley, Mohbad's former music label boss, as well as Sam Larry, both of whom the singer accused of bullying and physical assault before his death. The enigma surrounding Mohbad's passing continues to intensify, leaving the nation in suspense as it awaits answers and justice. The absence of connected CCTV cameras adds another layer of complexity to a case already fraught with mystery, raising questions about the events leading up to this tragic loss. Only time will tell if the truth behind Mohbad's death will ever be fully unveiled.
