Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has confirmed his intentions to give Paulo Gazzaniga his second consecutive start of the season as his side prepare to take on high-flying Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Gazzaniga made only his first appearance of the campaign for The Saints last weekend in their disappointing 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, however the young Argentinian was one of very few positives to take from the match as he produced a glittering performance between the posts.
Deputising for the injured Maarten Stekelenburg, the 23-year-old kept the scoreline down in what could have been a highly embarrassing game for Southampton. With crucial saves in both halves, Gazzaniga impressed many, including his manager.
We know Paulo (Gazzaniga) is a goalkeeper with a future and he played well with the under-21s and that was the reason that we put Paulo in and not Kelvin (Davis).
He played last week, he showed good training sessions and it showed. He was on a high level as a goalkeeper.
Southampton will be looking to put an end to their five-game run of games without a win, as Gazzaniga will hope to contribute towards their change in fortunes.
