Pletikosa will provide goalkeeping cover to Gomes and Cudicini

Tottenham have completed the signing of Croatian goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa on a season-long loan from Spartak Moscow.

The 31-year-old joins after impressing on a recent trial at White Hart Lane.

Pletikosa, capped at every level by Croatia from under-15 upwards, has won 80 international caps and was named the Croatian player of the Year in 2002.

He will act as cover for Brazilian Heurelho Gomes, who is currently nursing a leg injury, and Italian keeper Carlo Cudicini.
