Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are among the clubs interested in signing Pierluigi Gollini from Atalanta in the summer transfer window, according to Calciomercato.

What’s the story?

Calciomercato are reporting this morning that Tottenham and Everton are interested in signing Gollini in the summer transfer window.

Inter Milan, AS Roma, Lazio and AC Milan have also thought about signing the 26-year-old goalkeeper.

Atalanta have signed Juan Musso, and that has led to questions being asked about the future of the 26-year-old.

Aston Villa spell

Gollini is a player who will be well known to fans of Tottenham and Everton.

The Italy international moved to Aston Villa from Hellas Verona in the summer of 2016.

The 26-year-old failed to make a huge impact at Villa Park and after a loan spell at Atalanta, joined the Italian club on a permanent basis in the summer of 2018 for £3.75 million, as reported by Sky Sports.

Good signing for Tottenham Hotspur?

Gollini has done well for Atalanta and has been a regular for the club over the years.

The Italy international has also played in the Champions League.

For the right price, the 26-year-old would be a good signing for Spurs.

Hugo Lloris is not getting any younger, and Spurs need to think about a long-term successor to the French goalkeeper.
