Tottenham hope to finally end their search for a new goalkeeper this week by securing a £10million deal with PSV Eindhoven for Heurelho Gomes.

Spurs head coach Juande Ramos has been looking at candidates to replace Paul Robinson for the past six months - and has decided to go for Gomes, who stands 6ft 4in and has won 17 caps for his country.

The two clubs are close to agreeing a fee and Tottenham hope to be given permission to talk terms.

The 27-year-old has been one of many names on Tottenham's shortlist, but he made a big impression when he helped knock Spurs out of the UEFA Cup in March.

In the Eredivisie, he is known for his reflex saves and his ability to throw the ball deep into the opposition half.
