Pierluigi Gollini – Player Profile

Pierluigi Gollini joined Tottenham Hotspur on loan from Atalanta BC on July 24th, 2021. Known for being one of Italy’s top goalkeepers, Gollini is expected to challenge the no.1 spot from Spurs very own, Hugo Lloris.

The 26-year-old keeper began his professional career with Hellas Verona in 2014 before moving to the UK in 2016 and signing to Aston Villa for £4.50 million. Gollini made a total of 20 appearances during Villa’s Championship League campaign, helping to secure 5 clean sheets.

Gollini moved back to Italy following the 16/17 season on a loan transfer to Atalanta BC, which became permanent in June 2018 after he impressed the Italian side. Atalanta BC signed Gollini from Aston Villa for £3.96 million. Here, Gollini made a total of 108 appearances in all competitions, including 10 Champion League games in 2019/20 and 2020/21. Atalanta placed third in the Series A competition.

On July 24th, 2021, Gollini became Nuno Espirito Santo’s first summer signing. While the Italian is currently on loan, if the opportunity arises, Tottenham Hotspur could have the opportunity to purchase him on a permanent contract.
