Fabrizio Romano believes Tottenham are set to make a ‘really special’ signing this summer
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has said that Tottenham Hotspur target Guglielmo Vicario would be a fantastic signing.
Romano was speaking on his YouTube channel about the Italian goalkeeper on his YouTube channel.
Tottenham have identified the goalkeeper position as a key area to recruit this summer.
It looks as if club captain Hugo Lloris will be moving on before the start of next season.
After more than a decade at the club, the 36-year-old started to make mistakes during the campaign before missing the end of the season through injury.
Fraser Forster proved to be an able deputy in his absence and even earned a recall to the England squad.
However, new manager Ange Postecoglou is keen to bring in a new goalkeeper this summer.
Tottenham are interested in Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and Fabrizio Romano has shared his thoughts on the 26-year-old.
The uncapped Italian isn’t particularly well-known outside of Serie A.
Spurs fans could be about to find out an awful lot about him shortly.
Romano shares thoughts on Tottenham target Vicario
Asked about the 26-year-old, Romano said: “If you don’t know him guys, don’t worry, he is a very good goalkeeper.
“He had a fantastic season at Serie A with Empoli, probably the best goalkeeper of the whole Serie A season together with Onana and Maignan, two fantastic goalkeepers.
“What Vicario did at Empoli, which is not a super club, was really special. Tottenham will bid around Є18 million [£15.5m].”
Ange Postecoglou has always played fast-moving, attacking football and his tactics thrived in Scotland with Celtic.
He requires his goalkeepers to be good with feet and capable of starting attacks when necessary.
It’s likely because of this that even if Lloris didn’t think it was time to leave Spurs, Postecoglou may have tried to move him on.
Playing the ball out from the back was never the Frenchman’s strongest attribute.
Romano believes that Vicario would be a great signing for Tottenham and the giant goalkeeper is a strong ball player.
He rarely went long with his goal kicks at Empoli, although he doesn’t tend to play as a sweeper-keeper.
With David Raya still on Tottenham’s radar, it will be interesting to see who ends up as Tottenham’s number one at the start of the season.
Tottenham will sell ‘amazing’ player as part of rebuild for Postecoglou
Tottenham are prepared to sell a number of players this summer as part of a big rebuild and Harry Winks is set to be one of those given the boot.
Winks has spent the season out on loan with Sampdoria and has had another frustrating season on the whole thanks to injuries.
And according to The Telegraph, Winks will finally be given the boot full-time from Spurs this summer.
Tottenham to sell Harry Winks as part of summer rebuild
The Telegraph claims a number of Tottenham players are on the chopping block this summer to help fund a rebuild for incoming new manager, Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs are close to sealing a deal to appoint the Aussie and as part of that, a number of players will be sold on.
Winks is one of the more experienced players who will be moved on. Having made more than 200 appearances for the club, Winks will be disappointed to exit without having made much impact in recent seasons.
Once described as an ‘amazing‘ player by Mauricio Pochettino, Winks was initially highly-rated at Spurs.
However, he has slipped away in recent seasons and with injuries coming as well, has struggled.
£10m will be a good price
The problem Tottenham have now is that other clubs know that they want to sell players. And with that, clubs will be trying it on with lowball offers and the like.
For Winks, it’s hard to make a case really for getting top money. He’s barely played in the last 18 months and really, his impact in midfield is hardly that of a top Premier League player.
Spurs will be hoping Sampdoria want to keep him and they can do an easy deal. Beyond that, it’s difficult to see other PL sides showing too much interest.
