Fans joke ‘does he know who he’s signing for?’ as David Raya talks about wanting to ‘win titles’ amid transfer talk
FANS joked “does he know who he’s signing for?” after David Raya mentioned being determined to win titles.
The Brentford goalkeeper, 27, has reportedly agreed personal terms with Tottenham ahead of a summer switch.
Spurs are yet to agree a fee, with the Bees demanding £40million for their No1.
Currently on international duty with Spain, Raya has talked about his career goals as he nears a transfer.
He said: “I have ambitions to make the next step in my career.
“I want to try to win titles and to compete in Europe in the next couple of years.
“I’m 27 now and I feel like I’m at the point in my career when I want to make that step up.
“There are options out there but it’s not just my ambitions, the club also needs to let me go.”
Seeing Raya’s comments, fans pointed to Spurs’ lack of trophies in recent years.
One wrote: “So this mean you not joining Tottenham Hotspur.”

While a second joked: “does he know who he’s going to?”
Followed by a string of laughing emojis, an Arsenal fan mocked: “Win titles but go spurs?”
While using gallows humour, even a Tottenham supporter moaned: “He wants to win titles, that’s us stuffed then.”
While Spurs are in the driving seat, Manchester United and Chelsea have also been linked with Raya.
David de Gea is expected to pen a new deal with the Red Devils, but has not been assured that he will remain No1.
Erik ten Hag’s side are focusing on other priorities, but could move for Raya later in the window, should Spurs have failed to wrap up a deal.
Tottenham are on the verge of signing Dejan Kulusevski on a permanent deal from Juventus.
The Swede’s initial loan from Juventus contained a £30million option to buy – although transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that the North Londoners have managed to negotiate that figure down to around £26m.
Spurs have also been linked with a host of other names, including English trio Harry Maguire, James Maddison and Harvey Barnes.
