Report: Carlo Cudicini close to Los Angeles Galaxy switch

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini is reportedly close to agreeing a move to Los Angeles Galaxy.

In Hugo Lloris, Brad Friedel and Heurelho Gomes, Spurs currently boast three international stoppers in their squad.

Cudicini's current contract expires in June but manager Andre Villas-Boas is understood to regard the Italian, 39, as surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane.

According to The Mirror, Villas-Boas wants to reduce the club's wage bill and he is prepared to allow Cudicini to depart for America on a free transfer.

Cudicini's only appearance this season came in September against Carlisle United in a 3-0 victory in the League Cup.
