Gollini was previously part of the Manchester United youth academy but did not feature for the Reds in the Premier League. However, the goalkeeper has previously played in England in the Championship with Aston Villa where he made 20 appearances during the 2016 season.
He made the move to Atalanta in 2017 and has stayed at the club since then. In these 3 seasons, he has made a total of 108 appearances in all competitions, including 10 appearances in the Champions League over the last two seasons.
He played 32 matches last season as Atalanta finished third in Serie A and were runners-up in the Coppa Italia. However, the 26-year old shot stopper will be used as back-up for Huge Lloris this season and will have to compete hard to push for a starting eleven spot.
In a short message to Tottenham fans via Twitter, Gollini said: “Hello Spurs fans! I am so happy to be here. I can’t wait to see you in the stadium and I hope that we are going to have a magic season.”
