Elche Want to Bring Paulo Gazzaniga to Spain<\/h2>\n

Fallen Down the Pecking Order at Tottenham<\/h3>\n

The shot-stopper has yet to play a league game for Spurs this season and his chances for first-team football seem more and more unlikely in North London.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s fallen down the goalkeeping pecking order at the club and if the 29-year-old wants to play on a more regular basis, he may have to leave the club in pursuit of that first-team football.<\/p>\n

Elche are ready to offer it him and Spurs are prepared to let him go, with the Premier League side well covered in the goalkeeping area.<\/p>\n

More First-Team Football in Spain with Elche<\/h3>\n

The Spanish side are hoping to try and tie a deal up for the Argentine before the window shuts and the player himself would no doubt welcome a move away if it means more action in between the sticks for him.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s played for Spurs over the course of the last three seasons and has racked up a total of 22 league appearances for the English side. He\u2019s been resigned to finding football when he can, usually when Spurs\u2019 first-choice shot-stopper is out of action.<\/p>\n

Paulo Gazzaniga Offers Elche Experience<\/h3>\n

Elche though presents the chance for him to try and establish himself as a number one again and get regular action every week.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s experienced enough to be one, that\u2019s for sure. He\u2019s played in Spain before for Rayo Vallecano and Spurs aren\u2019t his only experience of English football, with Gazzaniga having also played for Southampton<\/a> (although he made one less league appearance for the Saints despite being there for longer). He\u2019s also experienced the lower leagues of English football, playing a season at Gillingham as a young 19-year-old.<\/p>\n

Gazzaniga now though, with all of this experience under his belt, could be ready to head to Spain and become the number one shot-stopper for Spanish side Elche.<\/p>\n
