David Raya has revealed he has already turned down two contract offers from Brentford amid reported interest from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
Raya is out of contract at the end of next season with the Bees and the Spain international is said to be keen on testing himself at the top level. Both Chelsea and Spurs could be in the market for a new shot-stopper in the summer with Hugo Lloris now 36-years-old and neither Edouard Mendy nor Kepa Arrizabalaga having done enough to show they are at the level to play regularly at Stamford Bridge.
Raya has been one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League this season with Brentford punching well above their weight in pursuit of a place in Europe. But that still may not be enough to keep Raya at the Brentford Community Stadium, with the 27-year-old admitting the club's offers of a new deal have not met his expectations and his eyes firmly on the top.

He told the Athletic: “I turned down two contracts, one last year and one this January. They weren’t the offers we were looking for. I can only say that.
“I want to focus on playing games and not think too much about my future. I have a contract here, so I’m willing to finish that, but you never know what’s going to happen in the summer. Maybe the club wants to sell, maybe not. Maybe I want to stay. I want to focus on football and see what happens.
“The club will decide the price and if a club wants to pay money, that will be it. I’m not worried about that. I’m not in charge of that.
“I have big ambitions. I want to play in Europe and I want to fight to win a title. I want to fight to win a European title. I trust myself to be able to play in those types of games.”
