On Thursday, the feeling was that Tottenham would complete the signing of Guglielmo Vicario by the end of the week.
Well, Friday’s update from TuttoMercatoWeb falls within these lines, as they claim the goalkeeper is simply waiting for the green light to leave his holiday and complete the move.
They explain how Vicario has ‘convinced everyone’, including Tottenham, with his performances of late at Empoli, leading to what is a record sale for the club, standing at €19m.
With Spurs needing a new goalkeeper following the news that Hugo Lloris would likely leave the club this season, the London side first looked at David Raya only to then turn their attention to the Italian.
The man himself is ‘currently on holiday in Spain’, and is ‘waiting to embark very soon for London’.
Regarding his medicals, they are expected to take place either on Saturday or ‘more likely on Sunday’ in England.
Once those are done, the move will be able to be made official by Tottenham, who will go ahead and announce him as the new starter in their new look team under Antonio Conte’s long-term successor, Ange Postecoglou.
