Tottenham are reportedly among a number of Premier League clubs who are interested in signing Roma goalkeeper Pau Lopez this summer.
Lopez spent the 2016-17 season on loan with us but never played a first-team game as he took up third choice behind Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm.
According to talkSPORT, we could have made the move permanent for £6m but lost out on the Spaniard while trying to negotiate a lower transfer fee.
Now 25 and a full Spain international, Lopez has built the start of a good career for himself as No.1 as Espanyol, Real Betis and, currently, Roma.
However after one season in Italy, Estadio Deportivo, relayed by Football Italia, report he could be put up for sale at £36m to help Roma raise funds.
We’ve been named as a potential suitor for the man we should’ve signed three years ago, who’d now be in a position to succeed a declining Lloris, while Chelsea and West Ham are also said to be interested in Lopez.
In the current climate and with other positions a priority, I can’t see us signing a goalkeeper this summer. Then again, if we hadn’t made a poor call on Pau – potentially a £30m mistake – we probably wouldn’t need to.
