Miguel Lopes (Tottenham Hotspur)
New Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with a move for defender Miguel Lopes from Sporting Lisbon, according to French newspaper Mercato, with Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais unlikely to activate a clause allowing them to make his loan deal permanent.
The 27 year-old is an experienced campaigner in European football, having also played for FC Porto, Real Betis and Braga, with Lopes perhaps being the man to finally nail down a place alongside Jan Vertonghen at the heart of the Spurs defence.
With Lyon unlikely to bring him in permanently and Sporting Lisbon having shown few signings of wanting Lopes back at the club, Tottenham could be able to negotiate a bargain deal with the Portuguese side.
