The keeper was a fan favourite at the N17 club after impressing in the 2019/20 campaign. Indeed, Gazzaniga replaced Hugo Lloris as the Tottenham goalkeeper suffered an arm injury that ruled him out for several months.

Despite acting as a suitable backup for Lloris, Gazzaniga was let go this summer following the expiration of his contract. The keeper spent four years with the north London side.

Although Gazzaniga played just 37 games in total for Spurs, the 29-year-old was a fan favourite at Tottenham. Moreover, supporters on social media were happy to see their former backup keeper join a London rival.
