Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly decided against signing up Pau Lopez on a permanent deal.
According to Sport in Spain, Tottenham Hotspur have pulled out of the running for Pau Lopez and they should now give their backing to Luke McGee.
Tottenham signed Lopez on loan from Espanyol last season, to be cover for Hugo Lloris.
However, with Michel Vorm and Lloris already at the club, Lopez did not play at all.
And Tottenham are believed to have decided against taking up their option to make Lopez’s move permanent.
Spurs should now give their backing to McGee, who looks to have the potential to challenge for a first-team place.
While McGee may never become a regular starter for Spurs, or reach Lloris’ current levels, he is still an excellent prospect and has proven he can make an impact at senior level.
McGee has spent the past campaign out on loan at Peterborough United, where he won the Player’s Player of the Season award.
McGee’s was consistently excellent at Posh, and Grant McCann’s side are now known to want to snap the 21-year-old up on a permanent deal.
However, with Spurs deciding against Lopez, the time has come for Mauricio Pochettino to give McGee a promotion and keep him in Tottenham’s first-team next season.
