Espanyol goalkeeper Pau Lopez will not be joining Albion, according to a report in Spain.

The 22-year-old, speaking to Diario La Grada, said: "I've turned down the offer because I want to stay here. In addition, the coach has always shown me his confidence."

The Argus website revealed last Friday that Lopez is among several keepers Albion have been looking at to add to their squad before the window shuts on Thursday night.

Lopez spent last season on loan to Spurs as third choice without making an appearance.
