Tottenham are closing in on their first summer signing – and it’s Southampton’s Paulo Gazzaniga.
Tottenham Hotspur are close to making their first signing of the summer, but fans shouldn’t get too excited with Southampton’s Paulo Gazzaniga set to be that man – according to the Daily Mail.

The North Londoners have lost Kyle Walker to Manchester City and despite the apparent need to bolster their squad, are yet to bring any new faces into the club.
