Tottenham are set to boost their goalkeeping options with the capture of Stipe Pletikosa on loan.

Croatia international Pletikosa will join the north London club on a season-long loan following a successful trial.

Harry Redknapp confirmed the move following Wednesday's 4-0 Champions League victory over Young Boys at White Hart Lane.

During the second leg of their European play-off, Redknapp saw first-choice keeper Heurelho Gomes pick up an injury which required Carlo Cudicini to enter the fray at half-time.

Cudicini himself had not featured since last November after being involved in a motorcycle accident which threatened to end his career.

Meanwhile, Redknapp has played down suggestions that qualification for the lucrative group stages of the Champions League will lead to a late flurry in the transfer market.

"I hope to go away with my wife for a few days and I do not see anything happening," he said.

"I am really not too bothered if we get anybody else. I have not pressed the chairman to buy anybody."
