And Raya has informed both the Bees and Arsenal he is ready for the move across London.
Talks are set to continue between the clubs over the price that Mikel Arteta's side will have to pay.
Brentford supposedly want £40million for the 27-year-old, who has just a year left on his deal.
Raya has also been attracting interest from Bayern Munich.
The keeper has impressed under Thomas Frank, helping them gain promotion from the Championship in 2021.
He has become one of the best stoppers in the Premier League, keeping 12 clean sheets last term.
Frank recently addressed his potential departure, saying: "Like everything, it is a negotiation. I would love to get £40m. That’s what he’s worth.
“What did Declan Rice go for? One year left on his contract and £105million. Is that the price? Is that fair?
And Harry Kane at Tottenham, you’re talking one year left and £150m.
"Raya is at his best age. But, anyway, it is a good thing I am not negotiating.
“That is for director of football Phil Giles, owner Matthew Benham and Arsenal. I just take care of the coaching.”
