Tottenham Battle London Rivals For Espanyol Keeper

It appears as though Espnayol stopper Carlos Kameni could soon he playing his trade in the Premier League after it was revealed that he would jump at the chance to play in England.

The Sun reports that both Tottenham and Fulham have shown an interest in the vastly experienced goalkeeper and could be interested in bringing him to the Premiership.

The 27-year-old has been the number one at Espanyol for five seasons and has played more than 200 league games for the Catalan club, but this season has been demoted to third choice.

Espanyol manager Mauricio Pachettino now prefers Cristian Alvarez, with Francisco Casilla the number two, leaving Kameni not even warming the bench.

The former Le Havre keeper is still considered an excellent shot stopper and just two seasons ago managed to set a record of 497 minutes without conceding a goal.

Tottenham currently have Brad Friedel, Carlo Cudicini and Huerelho Gomes at the club but the Brazilian keeper has been linked with a move, while Friedel and Cudicini are both coming towards the end of their careers.

Fulham's current number one Mark Schwarzer is also coming towards the end of his career and at 39-years-old may well not have too long left at the top level.

According to a family friend of Kameni: "If any English club make an offer, then he would accept it without any problem."
