Gomes eyes PSV return

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has expressed his desire to return to PSV.

The Brazilian shot-stopper, who watched the club’s 2-0 Eredivisie win over VVV on Saturday, wore the Eindhoven side’s jersey from 2004 until 2008 before leaving the club for north London.

However, Gomes has lost his starting berth at the Premier League side in the 2011/12 campaign and is keen to return to the club where he kick-started his European career.

“If it’s up to me, I would return to PSV right now. However, I’m not the one calling the shots. It all depends on what Tottenham and PSV want,” Gomes stated to ANP.

Nevertheless, PSV sporting director Marcel Brands has stressed that a transfer is unlikely at this point.

“Gomes is incredibly popular with the fans. I briefly spoke with him, but a return is not an option. We already have (Przemyslaw) Tyton.”

The 31-year-old Gomes made over 120 Eredivisie appearances for PSV during his four-year spell at the club.
