Report: What Spurs insiders feel about Guglielmo Vicario’s impact at the club

The Athletic have revealed that many at Tottenham feel Guglielmo Vicario gives the impression of having been at the club for many years.

Vicario has settled in seamlessly at Spurs and has hardly put a foot wrong since his arrival from Empoli, and the pundits and the wider footballing public are now starting to take notice of the Italian following his display against Chelsea.

Not only did the 27-year-old come up with several outstanding saves during the London derby but he also swept impressively behind Tottenham’s high defensive line after the home side went down nine men.

The Athletic have now explored the impact that Vicario has had behind the scenes in his first few months at the club.

It is explained that the goalkeeper’s personality was a big part of his attraction to Tottenham, with Ange Postecoglou placing a big emphasis on the type of character he wanted to bring into the club.
