Bundesliga strugglers Hoffenheim have signed Brazilian goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes on loan from Tottenham Hotspur for the rest of the season.
.
'' With Heurelho Gomes we have signed a very experienced goalkeeper '', sport director Andreas Muller told reporters on Thursday.
.
The 31-year-old, who has been with Spurs for three-and-a-half years, has won three international caps.
.
Earlier on Thursday, Mueller said Germany keeper Tim Wiese would be left out of the squad for an unspecified spell due to mounting pressure from fans and the media.
.
Wiesse, who joined the club this season from Werder Bremen, has had a poor campaign.
.
'' We have to take him out in order to protect him. Whatever Tim does now he hasn't got a chance - he cannot be evaluated properly '', Mueller said.
.
Hoffenheim are second from bottom in the league.
The goalkeeper's services will definately be beneficial to the football club. I trust him to make some good saves
