Tottenham 'have no interest in Pierluigi Gollini'

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly have no interest in signing Atalanta and Italy goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, despite speculation claiming he could replace Hugo Lloris.

Tottenham Hotspur reportedly have no interest in signing Pierluigi Gollini, contrary to recent speculation.

Spurs were rumoured to have identified the Atalanta BC goalkeeper as a possible replacement for Hugo Lloris, having scouted him throughout the 2019-20 campaign so far.

However, The Mirror claims that those reports are false and that Tottenham have no interest in signing the 25-year-old this summer.

Gollini spent time at the Manchester United academy earlier in his career and returned to English football for a season with Aston Villa in 2016-17.

Since leaving Villa Park the shot-stopper has helped Atalanta into the Champions League and earned a maiden call-up to the Italy squad, making his debut for the Azzurri last year.

One of Tottenham's back-up goalkeepers Michel Vorm is due to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of this season, but manager Jose Mourinho is not viewing Gollini as a transfer target to increase depth or challenge Lloris for the number one spot.
