Brentford’s David Raya has been linked with a potential move across London to Tottenham.
Spurs are keen to sign a new goalkeeper to become the long-term successor to Hugo Lloris.

The Frenchman, who is now 36 years old, is in his 11th season at the club having joined from Lyon in 2012.
A World Cup winner, Lloris has been a fine servant but Spurs are ready to be looking towards signing their new long-term no.1.
As a result, the Telegraph are reporting that Brentford goalkeeper Raya is being tracked by the north London outfit.
Antonio Conte’s side will be looking to sign a new player in that position in the summer, with an attacker and a right wing-back the task for January.
Although Spurs and Conte are ‘happy’ with their captain, they are aware that they will need to formulate his succession plan.
Another target is said to be Jordan Pickford of Everton, with Tottenham clearly ready to sign a new goalkeeper.

Lloris recently made an error in goal for Spurs in their 2-0 loss to Aston Villa.
He spilled the ball after Douglas Luiz’s effort from range and Ollie Watkins was soon on hand to lay it off to goalscorer Emi Buendia.
Such a mistake led Graeme Souness to claim that the French international is now past his best.
“I’m not a big fan of Lloris, I’ve said it for a long time,” he said.
“I think since the start of last season he’s made four errors that have led to goals, that’s the worst record in the Premier League for goalkeepers.
“For me he’s past his sell-by date.”
