LONDON (Reuters) - 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.
