According to Calcio Atalanta, Tottenham Hotspur have already agreed personal terms with Atalanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini ahead of a potential deal.
With Fabio Paratici in as Tottenham’s new director of football, it’s no great surprise that Spurs have been linked with a number of Serie A players.
Goalkeeper may not seem like a huge priority for Tottenham this summer, but they appear keen to land one.
Hugo Lloris is still going as first-choice stopper, whilst Joe Hart can serve as his backup again this term.
Yet with Lloris turning 35 this December and Hart clearly only seen as backup rather than a future first choice, landing the heir to Lloris may not be a terrible idea.
It’s now stated that Tottenham have ‘practically grabbed Gollini, pending an agreement with Atalanta’.
Tottenham have allegedly agreed personal terms with Gollini and a deal worth around €15million (£13million) could now be done.
Atalanta have already landed a replacement, with Juan Musso agreeing to join from Udinese earlier this month.
Formerly of Manchester United and Aston Villa, Gollini struggled with the latter before really developing at Atalanta, becoming an Italy international.
The 26-year-old is seemingly highly rated by Paratici, and these reports in Italy point towards Gollini being brought in to eventually replace Lloris down the line.
