Tottenham forced to up the ante as PSV demand more for keeper Gomes

PSV Eindhoven director Jans Reker has claimed the club will receive a larger transfer fee than has been reported for the sale of goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes to Tottenham.

The two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee on Friday and the Brazilian is now awaiting a work permit before completing his move to White Hart Lane.

But Reker has rejected reports the transfer fee is nine million euros (£7million), although he declined to say how much it is.  

'Gomes is going to Tottenham for a justifiable number of euros,' he told Dutch newspaper Eindhovens Dagblad. 

'I will make no more statements about this transfer. That is what we agreed with Spurs. We are satisfied. We get what we are entitled to.'  

Gomes had a release clause in his contract set at 14 million euros (£11million) and the 27-year-old leaves PSV under something of a cloud after a long dispute, primarily with Reker, over the running of the club.  

However, the director said the player will get a chance to say a proper goodbye. 

'Nothing stands in the way of such a farewell,' he said.
