Hugo: 'Michel and I will make Pau Lopez feel comfortable'

The 21-year-old stopper has joined us on loan from Espanyol, where he was first-choice goalkeeper in La Liga last season.

Familiar to Mauricio Pochettino and goalkeeping coach Toni Jimenez following their time at Espanyol between 2009 and 2012, Pau is yet to join up with his new team-mates as he’s away with Spain Under-21s.

He was on the bench for his nation in their 6-0 home win over San Marino in a European Under-21 Championship qualifier on Thursday and is preparing for a second qualifier in Sweden tomorrow (Monday, September 5).

Hugo has been keeping tabs on Pau’s progress and he says both he and Michel will try to help our new recruit settle in when he checks in at the Training Centre after the international break.
