Quick out of the blocks in the transfer market one year ago, Tottenham fans are desperate for the club to start splashing the cash this summer. Rewind the clock back 12 months and the Lilywhites had already clinched deals for Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic and Yves Bissouma, with Richarlison set to following in a big-money transfer from Everton at the start of July.
This time around it has been much quieter in N17, although that is understandable with Daniel Levy having other priorities following the departures of head coach Antonio Conte and managing director of football Fabio Paratici. Spurs did spring into life in the transfer market last Saturday, however, with the permanent signing of Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus following an 18-month loan deal.
The Swede now looks on course to be joined at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Needing to find a replacement for Hugo Lloris with the Frenchman intent on a new challenge, the Italy international will be the man to inherit his gloves once a deal gets over the line.
