Arsenal confirm latest signing as Arteta ramps up preparation for new season

Arsenal have announced the signing of talented young goalkeeper Tommy Setford from Ajax.

The 20-year-old joins the Gunners on a four-year contract, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months, for a transfer fee of less than £1 million.

Setford, who was entering the final year of his contract with Ajax, will initially join Arsenal's academy but will have the opportunity to train regularly with the first team.

He will also have the chance to gain valuable experience by traveling with the squad on their upcoming tour of the United States.

This signing comes on the heels of David Raya's official arrival at Arsenal earlier this month. Raya, who recently won Euro 2024 with Spain, joined the club on a permanent deal from Brentford for £27 million.

The addition of Setford and Raya to the squad aims to address the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Ramsdale's future at Arsenal.
