This included a report from The Sun on June 5 which claimed that even though the Spaniard was willing to move to Spurs, the Lilywhites are only willing to pay £20m for him while Brentford are demanding £40m.
It was subsequently reported by The Times on Sunday that Tottenham had struck a full agreement on personal terms with Raya but the publication added that the Bees are sticking to their demands of £40m, which Ange Postecoglou’s men had no intention of paying.

Signing Raya would represent a solid start to the window as not only is the 27-year-old one of the best shot-stoppers in the Premier League but he is also one of the best in the division with the ball at his feet, which would make him a perfect fit for Postecoglou’s style of play.
