Brazilian goalkeeper Heurelho Gómes will spend the coming four years at Tottenham Hotspur. This was announced by Dutch sports magazine Voetbal International on Thursday.

Gómes will be making the move from PSV Eindhoven, where he helped the team to win four consecutive Dutch league titles and reached the semi finals of the Champions League in 2005.

But internal conflicts, with chairman Jan Reker to be precise, made the Brazilian decide to try his luck elsewhere.

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly pay nine million Euros to bring the talented keeper to White Hart Lane. This is five million less than what was mentioned in Gómes’s transfer clause.

The now 27 year old Gómes joins PSV Eindhoven from Cruzeiro in 2004 and went on to make 118 appearances for the Dutch side. He also represented Brazil seventeen times.

Most likely candidate to replace Gómes at PSV is Swedish goalie Andreas Isaksson, who is currently second choice at Manchester City.
