Why David Raya is the perfect Kepa Arrizabalaga replacement as Chelsea given fresh transfer hope

Chelsea have been given fresh hope of signing the perfect replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga in the summer – David Raya. The 27-year-old goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this season following his impressive performances for Brentford.

Raya, who sees his contract with the Bees expire next summer, has featured 35 times for Thomas Frank's side in the Premier League this term, keeping 10 clean sheets. The Spain international's eye-catching displays have reportedly caught the attention of numerous top clubs in Europe, with the Blues being one.

football.london understands that Tottenham are in the market for a new shot-stopper as they look for the long-term successor to Hugo Lloris, and Raya is one of several goalkeepers on their shortlist. According to The Telegraph, Spurs are also joined by Chelsea and Manchester United in the race to sign the Spaniard.
