Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has announced his engagement to his model girlfriend Tatiana Trouboul ahead of the club’s match against Bournemouth.
The Spain international took to social media on Friday night to share the news.
“SHE SAID YES,” Raya wrote, and the goalie posted a series of photos of his proposal.
The doorman was seen in one photo getting down on one knee to propose, and the couple embraced after Trouboul accepted.
Trouboul revealed on social media that Raya had proposed to him earlier in the week.

Trouboul has been a key support in Raya’s career at Arsenal and the Spanish national team.
‘It’s been two days since the news broke and I still can’t believe it,’ he revealed.
‘Thank you very much for all the messages we are receiving. Being on a cloud and seeing how the people around us encourage us fills our hearts even more.’
Raya and Trouboul reportedly began dating in 2021 before going public with their relationship a year later.
The model had originally split her time between Spain and London, while the couple now live together in north London.
The couple’s home is guarded by an XL Bully dog after Raya reportedly received an exemption certificate after a ban went into effect in February earlier this year.
Trouboul has endured several pivotal moments in Raya’s career in recent years as the goalkeeper has enjoyed a significant rise.
She was present when he signed for Arsenal in an initial loan deal last year, and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta took a photo of the pair at the Gunners’ training ground.
Raya was initially expected to battle for the number one shirt with Aaron Ramsdale, but quickly emerged as Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper.
The couple live in north London with their XL Bully dog, Goku, who Raya got an exemption from to help protect her home following a series of terrifying raids on footballers’ homes.
Trouboul is a Spanish model who regularly shares travel photos with Raya on Instagram.

Trouboul also supported Raya during this summer’s European Championships in Germany.
The goalkeeper played only one match in the group stage of the tournament and kept a clean sheet against Albania.
Raya and Trouboul celebrated on the pitch after Spain were finally crowned European champions, beating England 2-1 in the final.
The Arsenal star has been a crucial part of their title-chasing team, winning the Premier League Golden Glove last season by keeping 16 clean sheets in 32 games.
They have enjoyed another impressive start to this campaign, with Arsenal unbeaten in the top flight after seven games and one point behind leaders Liverpool and level with second-placed Man City.
Raya shared the news of her engagement ahead of the club’s trip to Bournemouth at Saturday’s late kick-off.
Arsenal would top the table with a win, while Liverpool and defending champion Man City will play on Sunday.
