90 min have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur have informed David Raya that they are looking at alternative goalkeeping options this summer since Brentford are not willing to lower their asking price.
The publication claims that the Bees have not shown any inclination to relax their demands of £40m for Raya even though he just has one year left on his contract.

While the Spaniard remains the Lilywhites’ top target, it is alleged that they are not willing to pay that sum.
Tottenham are looking beyond David Raya
With Tottenham no closer to agreeing a fee with Brentford, it is revealed that they are now ready to assess alternative goalkeepers on the market.
90 min claim that Spurs are keeping Raya and his representatives informed of the latest developments, and have communicated to them that they are now looking at other options.
The publication reveals that Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is one of the alternatives on Tottenham’s radar but he is also wanted by Inter Milan, Juventus, AS Roma and Fiorentina this summer.
Brighton’s Robert Sanchez, Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili and Borussia Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel are said to be some of the other names on Spurs’ wishlist.

This is likely a tactic by Tottenham to get Brentford to lower their asking price. It makes little sense to pay £40m for the Spaniard, given that he has just one year left on his contract.
With Manchester United and Chelsea seemingly prioritising moves for other goalkeepers, the Bees do not have much choice but to lower their demands over the coming weeks.
