Brentford<\/a> have warned the Premier League clubs that are interested in goalkeeper David Raya<\/a> and left-back Rico Henry<\/a> that they are not for sale. With just three weeks left until the transfer window ends, Sky Sports News<\/a> reports that Brentford are hoping to keep hold of the duo.<\/p>\n

Brentford, who narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, have seen their star players subject to Premier League speculation. Their top goal-scorer, Ollie Watkins,<\/a> has already departed, with Aston Villa<\/a> securing the front-man for \u00a333 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brentford Warn Potential Buyers that David Raya and Rico Henry Are Off the Market<\/h2>\n

David Raya and Rico Henry Face Premier League Speculation<\/h3>\n

No other goalkeeper in the Championship kept more clean sheets than David Raya last season. His performances in the 2019\/20 campaign deservedly attracted Premier League interest. The Spanish shot-stopper has been heavily linked with a move to nearby Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gunners are keen on bringing the 25-year-old to The Emirates, with current back-up goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez<\/a> looking set to join Aston Villa. However, Brentford are reluctant to sell Raya. It will certainly be tough for Arsenal to negotiate a deal for the Spaniard, with Raya being an integral part of Thomas Frank\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

Whilst battling to keep Raya, the Bees are also trying to keep full-back Rico Henry. The 23-year-old was a key figure in Brentford\u2019s promotion push last season, playing all 46 league games. His rather impressive 2019\/20 campaign for the Bees has attracted the interest of the premier league.<\/p>\n

West Bromwich Albion<\/a> and Leeds United<\/a> have both expressed an interest in Henry. Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion<\/a> and Leicester City<\/a> have also been linked with the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n

Brentford are Willing to Sell Said Benrahma<\/h3>\n

It seems that Brentford are prepared to lose Said Benrahma over the previously mentioned duo. The winger had a brilliant 2019\/20 campaign; he found the back of the net 17 times and provided 10 assists.<\/p>\n

The reason why Brentford are willing to lose Benrhama appears financially driven. It is expected that the sale of Benrahma would generate a significant fee for the club. The Bees are also well-stocked with left-wingers, with Tariqe Fosu<\/a> and Sergi Canos<\/a> more than able to step in.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace<\/a> are set for talks with Brentford over signing Said Benrahma. The West London club will sell to Palace if they can meet their \u00a325 million valuation.<\/p>\n
