Hugo Lloris: 'Pau Lopez will provide more quality at White Hart Lane'

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris talks up the potential of young goalkeeper Pau Lopez, who joined the club on loan from Espanyol last week.

Hugo Lloris has claimed that Pau Lopez will add "a lot of quality" to Tottenham Hotspur's goalkeeping ranks after being signed from Espanyol on deadline day.

The 22-year-old arrives on a loan deal that can be made permanent next summer, joining Lloris and Michel Vorm as the Lilywhites' senior options in goal.

Lloris, who is currently on the sidelines nursing a hamstring injury picked up on the opening day of the season, has vowed to help his new teammate settle into his White Hart Lane surroundings.

"I know a bit about him already - he played in La Liga last season for Espanyol and he's a young keeper with a lot of quality," the Frenchman is quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard.

"We will try to make him comfortable on the pitch and off the pitch. It's important to make him feel quite settled within the squad - it's a new experience for him outside his country and I think it's good for Michel, for me and for Toni [Jimenez] too. He will train with us and he will help us to continue our improvement.

"Playing as a goalkeeper is never easy but mentality is important. We try to work well, try to be involved every day for the team and try to improve our levels. These are things that are important for all the players but when you're a keeper these things are especially important."

Vorm has started Spurs' last two league games, conceding one goal in that time - a James Milner penalty last time out as Liverpool claimed a 1-1 draw in North London.
