Pau Lopez

Actual Rating: 73

In all honesty, I was rather surprised to see Lopez receive such a high rating. He showcased real ability for Espanyol, but there’s a reason he’s come to Spurs to be their third choice keeper. He didn’t enjoy his best form last season.

On the other hand, he is a player who has shown the capability to be a La LIga starter. That isn’t something to be ignored. It’s also telling that Pochettino, his former manager, went out on a limb to bring him to White Hart Lane. Clearly the gaffer sees real ability in the young keeper.

Even though the manager admires him, he may not play a minute for Spurs this season. His acquisition was all about prospecting for the future. He’s probably a decent keeper at the moment, but it’s hard to believe he’s anything more than that.

My Rating: 70
