Spurs are the frontrunners to signal the 27-year-old, who Brentford worth at £40million, and have agreed private phrases with the participant. Spurs need to exchange outgoing captain Hugo Lloris this summer season and the golf equipment stay in negotiations over a free.

Raya is out of contract subsequent summer season, and whereas Brentford have already signed his replacement in Mark Flekken, his agent Jaume Munell says his shopper is ready to stay round and go away on a free subsequent summer season if the Bees don’t decrease their asking value.

“I know there are rumours about me leaving,” Raya stated in an interview with The Times. “There are some options for me to go but obviously Brentford are asking for a lot of money.

“That could make clubs not want to buy me, it could make them look somewhere else. But if that’s the value they give me then it’s up to them. I have a year left on my contract and until then I’m a Brentford player, there’s nothing I can do.

“I have ambitions to make the next step in my career. I want to try to win titles and to compete in Europe in the next couple of years. I’m 27 now and I feel like I’m at the point in my career when I want to make that step up. There are options out there but it’s not just my ambitions, the club also needs to let me go.”
