I was born to win - Spurs challenge holds no fear for goalkeeper Gomes

And the White Hare Lane faithful will be delighted to hear that the Brazilian can almost guarantee silverware for the club this season.

The Brazilian said: 'I'm not afraid of challenges, because I was born to win.'

Can he kick it? Tottenham Hotspur's goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes is expecting to succeed at White Hart Lane

The new Spurs goalkeeper impressed as the club collected their first silverware of the season by winning Feyenoord's Jubilee Tournament.

And Gomes expects more.

He continued: 'Any place can be a graveyard, it can also be a place of success. I have won at least one championship or cup per season, and I intend to carry on that record.'

Gomes was a crowd favourite at PSV for whipping up the crowd at half-time and
is determined to have a positive relationship with Spurs supporters.

In Eindhoven children visited his house where Gomes would happily sign autographs - unless he was sleeping.

'Eindhoven is a small place compared to London and where I lived was near a
school,' Gomes said.

'The students knew where I lived and they were constantly coming and ringing the doorbell to ask for autographs.

'But there were times when we were sleeping or needed some rest so I put up a sign saying - come back later, we're sleeping. The best time to sleep for me is around 2pm and they would always come around that time.'
