Tottenham have identified Brentford goalkeeper David Raya as a possible successor to Hugo Lloris, according to reports.
The club captain's contract runs until 2024 but Spurs are already on the lookout for long-term replacements.
Lloris could even depart this summer if Tottenham are able to secure a successor to the long-serving goalkeeper.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Tottenham are keeping close tabs on Raya ahead of a potential swoop in the summer.
Antonio Conte is keen to strengthen his squad in the January window but a goalkeeper is not on his wish list for the time being.
Tottenham are instead targeting a new right wing-back and a forward, but they will look to bring in another shot-stopper ahead of next season.
And Raya is a goalkeeper that Spurs admire after his fine performances for Brentford since their promotion from the Championship in 2021.
