Tottenham Hotspur boss Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed that the club are willing to let Heurelho Gomes leave the club on loan in January.
The Brazilian is currently well down the pecking order of goalkeepers at White Hart Lane, with both Brad Friedel and Hugo Lloris viewed as the number one and two between the posts.
Villas-Boas has admitted that he has sympathy for the 31-year-old and as a result will allow him to switch clubs on a temporary basis.
"Gomes has been extremely unlucky. He has picked up different types of injuries and is making a steady return," said the head coach.
"We have discussed with Gomes the possibility of him [leaving] on loan but because of the injuries we lost the timing of doing it.
"We also didn't have an option a player of his dimension deserves. We have put it hold and will reassess it in January."
Gomes joined Spurs in 2008 from PSV Eindhoven.
