According to Sky Sports, Tottenham Hotspur are in the best position to sign Brentford goalkeeper David Raya.
They would be about to.Who could join Spurs this summer?After being Spurs’ top goalkeeper for over a decade, Hugo Lloris could be on his way out of North London.
By his own admission, this summer could be the end of an era for Lloris, who has made almost 450 appearances for Tottenham in all competitions since arriving from Lyon in 2012.
Speaking to Nice-Matin recently, the 36-year-old admitted he was looking for a new challenge elsewhere. “We arrive at an important moment, both for the club and for me.
It’s the end of an era,” said Lloris.”I have desires for other things, I will calmly ask myself what will be possible.
But I will not forget that I still have a year of my contract with Tottenham and in football it is always difficult to predict what will happen.”
“As a result, the Lilywhites and chairman Daniel Levy are scouring the market for his replacement, leading to links with Everton’s Jordan Pickford, Croatia’s number one Dominik Lovakovic and Raya.
It comes amid their search for a new centre-back, with Man City’s Aymeric Laporte and Wolves defender Max Kilman and Leicester City star James Maddison in their sights.
As for the goalkeeper hunt, there has been an update from Sky Sports on Tottenham’s pursuit of Raya when personal terms have reportedly already been agreed.
According to the broadcast giant, Spurs are currently ‘leading’ the hunt for number one Brentford, with Man United and Chelsea also in contention for his signature.
However, Tottenham appear to be in pole position, although it is understood that none of the three interested parties are ready to match Brentford’s £40m figure.
