Retired footballer Paul Gascoigne 'rents penthouse in Sandbanks'

Former England footballer Paul Gascoigne has reportedly moved into a penthouse in Sandbanks, which houses some of the most expensive properties in Europe.

The 47-year-old, whose life after football has been dogged by alcohol and drug abuse, was previously living in a flat in Bournemouth.

According to the Daily Star, Gascoigne has now begun renting a penthouse in the exclusive Dorset area where Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp and Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis own properties.

Reports have claimed that two-bedroom flats in the Sandbanks area rent from £3m upwards.
