Tottenham have agreed a deal with PSV Eindhoven to sign goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, subject to personal terms, a medical and a work permit.
Gomes, 27, has played for Brazil and helped PSV to the Dutch title last season conceding only 24 league goals.
His arrival will alarm Paul Robinson who was dropped from the Spurs side last season by boss Juande Ramos.
Gomes made his name at Cruzeiro in Brazil before moving to PSV in 2004 where he has won four Dutch titles.
He will be a familiar face to Tottenham fans as he played a part in Spurs exiting the Uefa Cup last season when he saved a Jermain Jenas penalty in a shootout PSV won 6-5 in the last 16 of the competition.
Robinson had a torrid time last season not only losing his place in the Spurs team but also being dropped from England by new manager Fabio Capello.
The 27-year-old did play in Tottenham's Carling Cup win over Chelsea but was dogged by the embarrassing goal conceded at the start of England's Euro 2008 qualification campaign in 2006, when a Gary Neville back-pass hit a divot and rolled into the net giving Croatia a 2-0 win.
Robinson, who has also played for Leeds, has been linked with Aston Villa during the summer.
I always thought he was a bit rubbish. |

| Hmm - he has a rep for spoiling dressing-rooms. |

He is built like a brick shit house. And also has a massively wide neck.
And quite an average goalie if you ask me as well. |

| Got to be better than Robinson. |

| never really thought much of brazilian/south american goal keepers. even taffarel had his crazy eccentric days - spurs should be looking at someone like akinfeev the russian keeper. 22 years old, quality already and football manager predicts superstardom in a matter of years. |

aside from Speroni I guess?:D
Agree though - not that impressed with Gomes and think Spurs could have got better for less money. Someone like Akinfeev or Neuer.
I expect Spurs to be flash but ineffective much like last season, to be honest. |
