Brentford goalkeeper David Raya has admitted it’s nice to be linked with a move to Chelsea.

His range of passing and ability to play out from the back has seen him attract interest from Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window.

Raya has rejected two proposals from Brentford to extend his contract and Brentford will reluctantly listen to offers for him at the end of the season.

“Obviously it’s nice to hear that clubs are after you and asking about you and looking for you,” Raya told the Yours, Mine, Away! podcast.

“These clubs are the biggest in the world and every player wants to play for these clubs and everything.

“I have a year left and I don’t know what will happen in the summer. I’ve said before that I’ve had two contracts that I’ve turned down because they weren’t the offers I was looking for.

“I want to push myself to the highest level to the Champions League, the Europa League and to win those trophies. I want to experience that and I’m at that stage in my footballing career.”
