David Raya offers Tottenham hope by saying it is not the right time to sign a new contract at Brentford
David Raya, the Brentford goalkeeper, has been the subject of transfer speculation for the past few months, with top teams such as Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester United all reportedly interested in the Spanish shot-stopper.
Raya has been one of the standout players for Brentford this season, playing 21 times in the Premier League and keeping eight clean sheets. His performances have not only helped Brentford play consistently in the Premier League but also caught the attention of several big clubs.
However, in a recent interview, Raya stated that he is happy at Brentford and that it is not the right time to sign a new contract with the club. He acknowledged that the club has offered him two contracts, one last year and one in January, but they were unable to reach an agreement.
From a Tottenham perspective, Raya’s comments could offer hope for the club in their pursuit of a new goalkeeper. Tottenham has been on the lookout for a new shot-stopper for some time now, with their current options not quite living up to expectations.
Raya’s impressive form this season has not gone unnoticed, and his performances have caught the attention of some of the top teams in England. At 27 years old, he is in the prime of his career and has plenty of experience playing in the Premier League.
Speaking about the contract as quoted by Football. London, here is what Raya had to say about the contract situation and what he has for the future.
“I don’t think it’s the right time to sign a contract at the moment. I’m really, really happy and right now, I’m just thinking about doing the best for the team and trying to push for Europe. I was offered a new contract last year and one in January, but we didn’t reach an agreement”
His ability to keep clean sheets and make important saves make him an attractive option for any club looking to strengthen their goalkeeping department. Raya will be a huge plus to Tottenham.
Hugo Lloris’s form at the club has been very poor in recent times. The French World Cup winner is no longer at the level that he used to be. Tottenham need to replace the goalkeeper in the summer.
