Tottenham Hotspur would listen to offers for Paulo Gazzaniga amid interest from Fulham, according to The Evening Standard.

The newspaper claims Tottenham need to sell before they can buy again, having paid eight-figure fees for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Matt Docherty so far this summer.

And it suggests that while it the right-back, Serge Aurier, who represents Spurs’ best chance to raise funds, others such as Gazzaniga could be allowed to leave.

Gazzaniga enjoyed 18 Premier League outings in the absence of Hugo Lloris last season and seemingly impressed his former Tottenham colleague turned Fulham manager, Scott Parker.

But after Joe Hart joined from Burnley last month, Spurs have arguably over-covered their goalkeeping position.

And Gazzaniga may fancy a shot at being Fulham’s number one, with none of the Cottagers’ current options boasting significant Premier League experience.

It remains to be seen what sort of fee the north London side would seek for Gazzaniga, for whom they paid Southampton an undisclosed amount in 2017.

Tottenham are keen to recoup the £23 million they spent on Aurier that same summer, but neither Bayer Leverkusen nor AC Milan have so far come close to meeting their valuation, according to The Evening Standard.
