Tottenham soon to announce the signing of goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini
Pierluigi Gollini will join Tottenham Hotspur from Atalanta this summer in a loan deal. Reports suggest the stopper is in the final stages of completing the transfer with a portion of the medical already completed.
Following the loan deal from the Serie A club, Spurs have the option to make the move a permanent one; it is an obligation to buy but only on the condition Gollini achieves 20 caps in his time in North London. The fee apparently will be £15m if he stays and he reaches this feat.
