Spurs sign Sanchez

12 April 2012

Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Cesar Sanchez from Real Zaragoza - and the veteran goalkeeper insists he will fight Heurelho Gomes all the way to be first choice.

Sanchez, 36, is expected to be the understudy for Gomes, who has been signed from PSV Eindhoven as Paul Robinson's replacement, with Ben Alnwick another option for head coach Juande Ramos.

"I have fulfilled a dream, it will be unique, he said on skysports.com. "I have arrived to help Spurs. I am also here to fight for my place."

He added: "It is up to the manager. Gomes is a good keeper. I believe that the both of us offer a good level.

"Tottenham want a big season, and I am ready for the challenge. I know the Spurs squad is capable of a great performance in the Premier League. I am prepared for everything."

Sanchez, who earned a Spanish cap earlier in his career, played in the Champions League final for Real Madrid against Bayer Leverkusen in 2002.
