Tottenham Hotspur have a clear favourite in mind to replace the under-fire Guglielmo Vicario as their number one.
Vicario has been the centre of a storm over the last week after being booed by Tottenham fans during their 2-0 defeat to Fulham.
Thomas Frank has insisted that Vicario will remain his number one, but reports suggest that the 29-year-old may be on his way back to Italy.
Inter Milan are keeping tabs on the Spurs goalkeeper’s situation, and it has even been claimed by some sources that Vicario himself is keen on a move to the San Siro.
Tottenham identify Aston Villa star Emi Martinez as Guglielmo Vicario replacement
It is now being reported by Gazzetta dello Sport that Spurs have already begun looking for replacements for the former Empoli man, amidst Inter Milan’s overtures.
The report claims that Emi Martinez has now emerged as the North London club’s ‘favourite target’.
The Argentine, who was close to joining Man United last summer, may become the subject of interest from Tottenham in the upcoming transfer windows.
However, Martinez only penned a new deal at Villa Park last year, with his contract running until 2029.
Another Premier League goalkeeper is on Spurs’ sights
This report from Gazzetta comes just a couple of days after reports in the British media suggested that another Premier League shot-stopper is on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar.
TEAMtalk claimed that Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen is on Spurs’ wishlist, with Thomas Frank’s men said to have been impressed by the Seagulls shot-stopper’s performances at the Amex Stadium.
However, the same update revealed that Chelsea also have a long-standing interest in Verbruggen, while the Dutchman was also the subject of enquiries by Bayern Munich in the summer.
