Pau Lopez is expected to make his debut for Tottenham Hotspur against SC Kitchee later today, Spanish newspaper AS report.

Lopez is on a season long loan from Espanyol, but was not selected to start a single game all season, even a cup match.

Spurs have two quality goalkeepers in Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm and Lopez has had to bide his time.

He has been working with the under-23 squad and Tottenham remain sufficiently interested in him to have brought him on their post-season tour.

AS report Spurs are planning to take a closer look at him in the friendly match, while The Sun report he is expected to sign a permanent deal later this summer.

After the game, Lopez will join up with Spain’s under-21 squad for their summer fixtures.

Lopez has experience playing in La Liga and is just 22. If he signs permanently then questions will be asked as to the long term future of Michel Vorm at the club, with Hugo Lloris signing a contract extension last season.
