Tottenham have completed the signing of Atalanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini on loan.

Spurs have signed the 26-year-old for the season, but the deal includes the option for them to make it permanent next summer.

Gollini spent part of his youth career with Manchester United before enjoying a spell at Aston Villa.

It is in his native Italy, though, where the goalkeeper has had the most success and he has impressed with Atalanta.

Tottenham have now swooped to sign him on loan and they can buy him in a year’s time for around £13m.

A statement from Spurs on Saturday read: “We are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini from Italian side Atalanta on a season-long loan, with an option to make the transfer permanent.

“Pierluigi has been capped at Under-18, 19, 20 and 21 levels for Italy, and made his senior debut off the bench in a Euro 2020 qualifying match against Bosnia & Herzegovina in November, 2019. The deal is subject to international clearance.”
