Telegraph Sport reports that Brentford goalkeeper David Raya has drawn the interest of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. Unfortunately, two offers to sign a new deal at the club were declined by the Spaniard. His future at the club appears uncertain at present.
The Bees shot-stopper has one year left on his contract and will depart the club in the summer. However, his performance has earned him interest from Premier League giants Arsenal who could also be interested in Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club (pronounced /'tat@n@m/; THFC), commonly referred to as Spurs, is a professional football club based in Tottenham, London that competes in the Premier League - English football's highest division.
Since April 2019, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, replacing White Hart Lane, has been hosting their home matches. Nicknamed "the Spurs", this club enjoys a large Jewish following.
Tottenham have won many trophies throughout their club's history, such as the FA Cup and League Cup. However, recent years have seen mixed results.
Many players have been brought in to improve the team, yet it appears they are unable to deliver expected results. Goalkeepers in particular are an area of concern with Lloris having allowed three goals in his last 18 games across all competitions.
Manchester United
David Raya of Brentford has been the subject of increasing interest from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, with both clubs keeping tabs on him. At 27 years old, Raya is in his final year with the Bees and has turned down two extensions to extend his stay at Gtech Community Stadium.
He is an integral member of Thomas Frank's squad and has played a significant role in their recent success. He was part of the side that earned promotion to the Premier League in 2021 and has now made it into the top four this season.
Spurs are in search of a new shotstopper, with Hugo Lloris under increasing pressure at the back. And with Edouard Mendy no longer an option under Graham Potter and Kepa Arrizabalaga still not fully fit, there's need for an experienced long-term replacement.
Chelsea
Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly set to challenge Tottenham this summer in an effort to sign Brentford star Raya. According to The Telegraph, Raya will be out of contract at the end of next season and could be caught in a bidding war between three of England's biggest clubs.
At 27 years old, Raya has made an enduring impact in West London. After their promotion to the Premier League in 2021, Thomas Frank's side are currently riding high at the top of the table with hopes of reaching playoffs. Raya plays a pivotal role in helping them achieve this success.
This season, the Spanish international has earned himself much praise and looks set for a place in Spain's World Cup squad next month. While he may be a regular starter at Athletic Bilbao, Unai Simon of Athletic Bilbao and Brighton's Robert Sanchez could provide competition for him.
Raya has earned a WhoScored rating of 7.04 during his time in the Premier League, making him an attractive candidate for an eventual move to one of football's big clubs. Additionally, his Champions League experience could prove useful to Chelsea or Tottenham who both are looking to appoint new goalkeepers this summer.

QPR
QPR are being linked with Brentford's David Raya. With his contract set to expire in 2024, it's believed he could depart the club at the end of the season; multiple Premier League sides have expressed an interest.
Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in signing the Spain international. As they sit just outside of the top four, this would be an ideal step up for him.
However, if he opts to depart, the Bees must find a replacement. At present, 21-year-old Albanian Thomas Strakosha is on their books but has failed to make an impact since joining from Serie B side Fiorentina this summer.
Brentford have also been linked with Denmark goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, who has been highly sought-after in England and could potentially wear the club's number one jersey.
