Chelsea, Tottenham want Pau Lopez?

Premier League rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly locked in a battle for Roma goalkeeper Pau Lopez.

The 25-year-old failed to make a single appearance for Spurs during a spell on loan in North London during the 2016-17 campaign.

However, Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo claims that Lopez is wanted by Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho to provide back-up to Hugo Lloris for next season.

The same report credits Chelsea with an interest in the twice-capped Spain international, with Frank Lampard known to be on the lookout for a new first choice due to concerns over Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Fellow London club West Ham United are also said to be weighing up an offer for Lopez, who is valued at more than £36m by Roma.

Napoli's David Ospina is rumoured to have been lined up by the Giallorossi as a replacement should Lopez depart this summer.
