Pochettino tempting ace to join Tottenham, club want situation sorting quickly

 

Espanyol’s Pau Lopez moving to Tottenham Hotspur has gone relatively quiet over the past few days.

On Monday, Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo have their daily Espanyol page, and say there’s 3 things the club need to sort out. One of those is remaining transfers: ‘The situation of Pau, the signings of two defenders and a midfielder’.

But that’s it. There’s no elaboration on where talks with Tottenham have gone, and what the current situation is. Just an acknowledgment that it is a ‘situation’ that needs dealing with.

Espanyol specialists Diario La Grada say a Pau exit is possible. The 21 year old goalkeeper had refused several exit options previously, but Mauricio Pochettino and Tottenham are once again said to be a very tempting option.

Last week it was claimed Tottenham have submitted a bid for the player, with the Catalan media getting confirmation of this from Espanyol sources. That wasn’t enough for a deal, but talks were said to be cordial and the situation continuing.
