Tottenham’s pursuit of David Raya hit a roadblock this summer due to concerns over Brentford’s demanding terms, as disclosed by Ben Jacobs on the latest episode of CaughtOffside’s Debrief podcast.
Raya had emerged as a top target for Tottenham earlier in the transfer window, but negotiations eventually fell apart, ultimately leading Raya to join Arsenal on loan.
Arsenal’s acquisition of the Spanish goalkeeper has proven to be a cause for celebration.
Raya has made a promising start at the Emirates Stadium, establishing himself as the preferred choice ahead of England’s Aaron Ramsdale in Mikel Arteta’s lineup.
While Arsenal successfully secured Raya’s services from Brentford, it appears that Tottenham had reservations about striking a similar deal that would meet their satisfaction, according to Jacobs’ insights.
Raya’s impressive performances during his time at Brentford have seamlessly transitioned into his role at Arsenal, solidifying his reputation as a high-quality player. This development represents a significant victory for Arsenal in their North London rivalry with Tottenham.
