Tottenham Hotspur are weighing up their mid-season options in the winter window, with Thomas Frank now shifting focus away from the goalkeeper market.
It could very much be a busy winter window for Tottenham Hotspur this season as the Lilywhites continue to be linked with several players.
Just yesterday, it was reported that Tottenham are looking for a ‘world class’ keeper to strengthen the squad this winter following a series of mistakes by Guglielmo Vicario.
The Italian, who joined from Empoli back in 2023, has the odd mistake in him, as already seen this season, and it was claimed that his inability to command his box and deal with set pieces has seen Tottenham look elsewhere.
Tottenham and Guglielmo Vicario transfer stance for January
TeamTalk have now poured cold water on those reports, with the outlet claiming that Spurs are not urgently looking for a first-choice goalkeeper, as Thomas Frank has a different top priority for January.
It is explained that despite links with several high-profile goalkeepers, Vicario remains Tottenham’s number one choice and a key leadership figure in the dressing room.
The goalkeeper, who ranks first for saves in the Premier League, has been described as integral to Tottenham’s project, with reports even adding that the 29-year-old is seen as a future captaincy candidate alongside James Maddison and Cristian Romero.
However, while Vicario’s position is not under threat, there are claims that Spurs are monitoring the goalkeeper market with a focus on adding depth behind the 29-year-old.
Spurs and Antoine Semenyo transfer interest
TeamTalk also went on to reveal Tottenham’s priority in January in their report. The publication states that, instead of a goalkeeper, Frank is looking to strengthen the forward area of the pitch at Tottenham.
Spurs remain keen on landing Antoine Semenyo, and it is claimed that the north London club have made initial enquiries.
Tottenham are understood to be readying a bid that will meet his £65 million release clause, inclusive of £5 million in add-ons. Tottenham are not alone in their pursuit, with Liverpool also keeping close tabs on Semenyo.
