Southampton adds goalkeeper Gazzaniga

Southampton, England (Sports Network) - Southampton announced Friday that it has signed highly-rated Argentine goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga from Gillingham.

Gazzaniga, 20, penned a four-year deal with the newly-promoted Premier League club and is expected to compete with Kelvin Davis for the starting role next season.

"I am very happy because signing for a Premier League team is a dream," Gazzaniga told the club's website. "It's mad because I only played a few matches last season - it's a crazy situation. The club has a lot of ambition, so I was eager to sign. I can't wait to get started."
