Tottenham expect to sign Espanyol goalkeeper Pau Lopez today.

The London Evening Standard says the goalkeeper was poised to join on a temporary arrangement at first, which could turn into a £6million deal at the end of the campaign if certain conditions are met.

Lopez will fight with Michel Vorm to be understudy to Hugo Lloris, who is currently injured but is expected to be available again after the international break.

Lloris has not joined the France squad because of a hamstring injury sustained in Tottenham's 1-1 draw at Everton on the opening day of the season.

Lopez, 22, is a Spain Under-21 international who has been included in the senior squad before, but has yet to make his full debut for his country.
