Guglielmo Vicario has been receiving high praise yet again. This time, Italian journalist Umberto Chiariello has commended the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper’s ‘extraordinary’ start to life in North London.
One of the top priorities for Ange Postecoglou this summer was finding a replacement for Hugo Lloris. The former club captain and number one keeper had a fairly disastrous campaign last year, and was all but ready to leave the club this summer.
Ultimately, Lloris stayed put, despite the signing of Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli. The Italian stopper has slotted into the new-look Spurs team with ease, making a fantastic impression in the early days of his Tottenham career.
With the Lilywhites unbeaten in the Premier League so far, many eyes are on the likes of Heung-min Son and James Maddison in attack. However, Vicario has received plenty of praise for his performances in the Spurs goal.
Journalist has enjoyed Vicario’s journey to the top
In an appearance on Canale 21’s Campania Sport (via Tutto Napoli), journalist Umberto Chiarello was discussing Serie A goalkeepers and used Vicario as an example of how far one can go with a little patience and ‘personality.’
He said: “I’m interested in the goalkeeper’s attitude. I’ll give you the example of Vicario. He was Cragno’s backup at Cagliari, had a month and a half of visibility due to the latter’s injury and he proved to be good.

“Cragno returned and he returned to the bench, he [Vicario] went to Empoli and had an amazing year, confirming himself even in his second year.
“Now Tottenham have signed him and he’s doing extraordinary things, there is a growth in this boy who from a reserve has become an important goalkeeper. You can see the personality in his case.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Guglielmo Vicario has been outstanding so far and hopefully he will keep improving. I’ve seen very little to complain about, but given his commitment to being the best he can be, he will want to develop his game even more.
