My Take

Pau López strikes me as the quintessential journeyman goalkeeper, and I mean that as praise. Six seasons and over a hundred La Liga appearances across Espanyol, Betis and Girona, plus stints in England, France and Mexico, paint a portrait of someone who keeps finding work because clubs trust the position to him. Standing 188 centimeters, he's a Catalan keeper whose career zigzags suggest both ambition and the brutal competitiveness of his trade. The Tottenham spell with no appearances is the kind of detail I find honest about football: even talented keepers wait behind someone. His return spells at Betis tell me he leaves a good impression.

Overview
