Tottenham have signed Croatia goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa from Spartak Moscow on a season-long loan, the club have confirmed.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp had said before the season started that he would prefer to have three goalkeepers challenging for a first-team spot.
First choice Heurelho Gomes missed Saturday’s 1-0 Barclays Premier League defeat because of injury, while Carlo Cudicini was at fault for Hugo Rodallega’s winner.
