Spurs set for loan talks with Sporting Lisbon right back Miguel Lopes [Mais Futebol]

Portuguese football website Mais Futebol report on Monday that Tottenham have scheduled talks with the representative of Sporting Lisbon right back Miguel Lopes on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old Portuguese right back is not in the plans of current Sporting Lisbon coach Marco Silva for the coming season.

New Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino is interested in bringing in Lopes to add strength in depth to the right back position.

There are suggestions that whilst Kyle Walker will be first choice at White Hart Lane next season, the arrival of Lopes will allow Kyle Naughton to leave Spurs, with Swansea interested.

Lopes spent last season on loan in Ligue 1 at Lyon and his salary is thought to be prohibitive for most European sides.

Mais Futebol add that Lopes is keen to test himself in a strong league and gain playing time to secure a place in the Portugal national side.

Tottenham struggled at the back end of last season when Kyle Walker picked up an injury with Kyle Naughton failing to fill the void of his great mate from Sheffield.
