Tottenham wrapping up loan deal for Spartak Moscow keeper Pletikosa

Tottenham are in advanced talks for Spartak Moscow goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa.

The Daily Mail says Spurs are expected to sign Croatia goalkeeper Pletikosa on a season-long loan from Spartak Moscow within the next fortnight.

The 31-year-old has not travelled with Spartak to Scandinavia for a summer training camp and will instead head to London for an extensive medical before clinching a move to White Hart Lane after the squad returns for pre-season training on July 5.

Harry Redknapp had an agreement in place to sign Pletikosa last summer before he suffered a serious knee injury in what was supposed to be his final training session in Moscow.

Pletikosa, who has more than 80 international caps, will provide back-up for Heurelho Gomes at Spurs.
