Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilcueta has spoken to Manchester United and Tottenham target David Raya about a potential move across west London instead. The Brentford goalkeeper previously revealed he has already turned down two contract offers with the Bees, and his services look set to be battled over this summer.
Raya is out of contract at the end of next season, and the Spain international is reportedly eager to test himself among Europe’s elite. Both United and Spurs are on the hunt for a new long-term shot-stopper to replace David de Gea and Hugo Llloris respectively.
However, Todd Boehly will also be keen to bring a new ‘keeper to Stamford Bridge, with neither Edouard Mendy nor Kepa Arrizabalaga having done enough to show they are at the level to play regularly for the Blues. Raya has been one of the Premier League’s standout goalkeepers this season, with only six teams conceding fewer goals than Thomas Frank’s side.
