Gomes to quit Tottenham in January

Gomes to quit Tottenham in January

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp admits that Heurelho Gomes is likely to quit White Hart Lane in January, as the shot stopper pursues a place in Brazil's 2014 World Cup squad.

  • Gomes has long been linked with a move away from Tottenham, but decided to stay at White Hart Lane and fight for a first team place.



    However, Redknapp chose Carlo Cudicini ahead of Gomes for Spurs' Europa League game against PAOK Salonika last week, indicating that Gomes has now fallen to number 3 in the pecking order behind Cudicini and Brad Friedel.



    Redknapp said: “I would think he won’t be happy. He wants to play at the World Cup [in 2014] with Brazil, so it’s going to be a problem.



    “We’ll wait until the next window and see where that takes us.



    “He’s done nothing wrong. He’s a fantastic goalkeeper and a great pro. I just went with Carlo in Greece [against PAOK in the Europa League] - and he [Cudicini] was magnificent.



    “I’m very lucky I have three top goalkeepers here and it’s unlucky for the two not in the team.



    “They would get in other teams, for sure. He [Gomes] trains great every day."
