The ex-Celtic boss looks to be edging closer to a first summer signing
Tottenham Hotspur appear to be inching ever closer to wrapping up a deal for Brentford goalkeeper, David Raya, with the Spaniard having been earmarked as the top target to replace long-serving skipper Hugo Lloris at N17.
According to Italian journalist, Rudy Galetti, the Lilywhites are said to be nearing an “agreement” with the Bees regarding the signing of the Spanish stopper, with the deal potentially set to cost in the region of just €25m (£21m) – despite a £40m fee having been mooted of late.
Writing on Twitter, the transfer insider revealed: “#Tottenham and #Brentford are closed to reach an agreement for David #Raya. As told few days ago, only #THFC have been involved in the talks for the [Spanish] GK.
“The cost of the operation is around €20-25m: developments expected soon.”
This comes amid a report from The Telegraph which revealed that the north London outfit are leading the race for the 27-year-old’s signature, albeit with Premier League rivals Manchester United also still in the running at present.
