David Raya has hinted his future is not yet certain despite a successful loan spell at Arsenal from Brentford including an obligation to buy.
Raya, 28, joined the Gunners in what was seen as a rather strange move as Mikel Arteta claimed he wanted to rotate both the Spaniard and Aaron Ramsdale.
Ultimately, Raya became Arteta s regular first choice, playing 32 Premier League games on the way to helping finish second, losing out on the title to Manchester City on the final day.
Raya wants to play in Spain one day
It has long been expected that the 35m euro deal to take Raya permanently from west London to north London. But while he says he is happy at Arsenal and in England, he harbours ambitions of playing in his homeland.
“I would like to play in Spain one day,” he said.
“As I have never played in the Spanish league, then, returning would not be returning. Coming home, at some point, yes. I don’t close any doors.
“Right now, I am very happy in the Premier League. Let’s see what happens this year, if I stay at Arsenal or not. You have to wait and see.
“It has been a good campaign with Arsenal, and it is a shame that we have not been able to win the title.
“(Manchester) City have made it very difficult for us. I am very happy with the campaign, and I hope to be able to continue there next year.”
