Tottenham Hotspur have signed Espanyol goalkeeper Pau Lopez on a season-long loan deal.
Lopez, 21, is expected to compete with Michel Vorm to be understudy to Hugo Lloris, who should return from a hamstring strain after the international break.
Spurs' previous third-choice goalkeeper, Luke McGee, has joined League One club Peterborough United on loan.

Lopez was coming through the ranks during Mauricio Pochettino's time as coach of Espanyol and has been first-choice at the club since Kiko Casilla's move to Real Madrid last summer.
