Gomes proving his worth, says Redknapp

TOTTENHAM boss Harry Redknapp was assured by Guus Hiddink and Tony Adams that Heurelho Gomes was among the best in the world — and he is seeing it for himself this season.

Gomes took time to adapt to the Barclays Premier League when he arrived from PSV Eindhoven at the start of the last campaign, with Redknapp looking at goalkeepers to bring in after a string of blunders from the Brazilian.

Helped by goalkeeping coach Tony Parks, Gomes has been consistently good this season and on Wednesday evening produced a string of saves to inspire a famous win over rivals Arsenal and keep Spurs in the hunt for a Champions League place.
