Brad Friedel Joins Tottenham Hotspur On A Free Transfer

Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel has agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer.

Friedel, now age 40, was out of contract at Villa Park and has turned down reported interest from his former club Liverpool in order to join Harry Redknapp’s side.

It is expected that he will usurp Tottenham’s established number one Heurelho Gomes after the Brazilian committed a number of errors in the second half of last season.

Harry Redknapp confirmed the news in the club’s official website: “Brad is a top goalkeeper of real quality who has great experience.

“It is good to have three such experienced top goalkeepers at the club in Gomes, Carlo [Cudicini] and now Brad and it means we have competition for places particularly with the number of games we will hopefully face next year both domestically and in Europe as well.”

Confirmation of the deal means Friedel is likely to extend his Premier League record for playing consecutive games, with the tally currently standing at 275.

The American made 114 league appearances for Aston Villa across three seasons at Villa Park.

Liverpool 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur – Match Highlights

Tottenham seized the advantage in the race for the final Europa League spot as Liverpool’s first match since the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as permanent manager ended in a 2-0 defeat.

But referee Howard Webb could have been accused of having a helping hand in deciding the outcome with a series of questionable decisions which culminated in the award of a very favourable penalty for the visitors’ second.

Rafael van der Vaart’s volley had given Harry Redknapp’s side an early lead only for Liverpool to wrest back control of the game until 11 minutes after the interval when Webb controversially pointed to the spot and Luka Modric converted.

Spurs moved a point ahead of their rivals into fifth place as they inflicted a first home defeat for Dalglish, who signed a three-year contract on Thursday, since he replaced Roy Hodgson in early January.

Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Blackpool – Match Highlights

Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Blackpool – Match HighlightsView Comments May 8, 2011 [Translate]

Tottenham failed to fully capitalise on a defeat for Manchester City as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Blackpool.

Spurs knew a win could have taken them to within four points of Manchester City in fourth place, but fell behind in farcical circumstances at White Hart Lane. Michael Dawson handballed to concede a penalty in the second half and Heurelho Gomes saved from Charlie Adam, but within 70 seconds the goalkeeper fouled Gary Taylor-Fletcher to concede another spot-kick.

Adam scored his second attempt from 12 yards after 76 minutes and had seemingly put Blackpool on course for a vital three points. However, Jermain Defoe scored with a minute of normal time remaining. The result means Spurs are six points behind City with three games remaining, ahead of the meeting of the two clubs on Tuesday.

Gareth Bale is a major doubt for Tottenham’s Premier League clash against West Brom after sustaining a knee injury in Wednesday’s north London derby.
William Gallas and Vedran Corluka (ankle) also picked up knocks in the match and could miss out while Niko Kranjcaris struggling with a foot problem.
Jonathan Woodgate (calf), Ledley King (groin), Wilson Palacios and Alan Hutton (both knee) are all out.
West Brom have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to White Hart Lane.
Midfielder Graham Dorrans is the only absentee with the ankle problem which has sidelined him for the past seven weeks.
