Lopez, who has been capped for Spain’s U21 side is Mauricio Pochettino’s fourth signing of the summer.
Tottenham’s number one Hugo Lloris limped out of their Premier League opener at Everton this month and is expected to remain sidelined for a further three weeks at least.
‘We are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Pau Lopez on a season-long loan from Espanyol, ‘ Spurs wrote on Twitter.
“The loan is in exchange for payment with an option to buy the player should he meet set targets this season”.
Lopez, 22, is a Spain Under-21 worldwide who has been included in the senior squad before, but has yet to make his full debut for his country. “If he does not, the player will return to RCD Espanyol, who will receive an extra bonus payment from the English club”.
