Tottenham are close to signing their first player of the summer and that is Paulo Gazzaniga. The 25-year-old Southampton keeper will move to the London club for a fee of £2m, according to The Sun. The Argentine keeper is known to Mauricio Pochettino from their time at the Saints. However, Gazzaniga didn’t play in England last season and was out on loan at Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish second division.
Gazzaniga should provide cover to the likes of Michel Vorm and Hugo Lloris but he is far from the kind of signings we have been expecting since the transfer window opened. We are also the only club in the Premier League not to have made a signing so far in the summer and that certainly played into the minds of our fans as they shared their thoughts on Twitter.
Spurs twitter about to implode when Spurs announce Gazzaniga.
Horrendous keeper.— Mikey (@MikeyRidd) August 3, 2017
Gazzaniga is a horrendous goalkeeper…. Why on earth are we trying to sign him. This ladies and gents sums up spurs transfer policy.

If Spurs sign Gazzaniga, I think that’s probably; bye bye Vorm.

Maybe the idea behind Gazzaniga is he’s so bad it will scare Lloris and Vorm into not getting injured?

I can’t fathom why Spurs would sign Gazzaniga. Genuinely baffling. https://t.co/1e6wD1D9LT

If we sign Gazzaniga I’m going to flip. Why do we need a 3rd keeper who will never make an appearance
