According to the AS, Tottenham Hotspur have now stepped up their pursuit of Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, with the North London club said to have submitted a tempting offer to the youngster.

Spurs are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper

Garcia played a key role in helping Espanyol win promotion back to La Liga last season and the shot-stopper’s displays have seemingly caught the attention of several clubs.

It was reported by Grada 3 a little over a week ago that Tottenham and Brighton had both expressed an interest in the 23-year-old and that the two Premier League clubs could be set to battle it out for the player.

Spurs currently have Guglielmo Vicario, Fraser Forster, Alfie Whiteman, and Brandon Austin in their goalkeeping ranks at Hotspur Way.

Tottenham’s advances for Joan Garcia

AS have now also credited Spurs with an interest in Garcia, stating that among the various clubs interested in the goalkeeper, the Lilywhites are ‘temping him the most’.

In fact, the report asserts that the Premier League side have ‘already launched a specific proposal’ to sign the Spain Under-21 international.

The publication adds that Espanyol would want a fee close to Garcia’s €25m release clause to do business.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham may be future-proofing their goalkeeping ranks, with the upcoming season potentially being Fraser Forster’s last campaign at the club.

However, I do not think the Lilywhites would consider paying around £20m for Guglielmo Vicario’s understudy.
