Guglielmo Vicario seals Tottenham transfer to become Ange Postecoglou's second signing

Tottenham have completed the signing of Guglielmo Vicario from Italian side Empoli. The goalkeeper, who will wear the No.13 shirt for Spurs, has signed a five-year contract at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and joins for a reported £16.3million transfer fee.

Vicario's arrival in N17 sees Ange Postecoglou's team strengthen a priority position ahead of the team's return to pre-season training with long-serving Hugo Lloris expected to move on this summer. Signed from Lyon in 2012, the World Cup winner has signalled his intent to move on for a new challenge elsewhere after 11 years with the Lilywhites.

Amid plenty of talk of Tottenham making a big-money move for Brentford shot-stopper David Raya, the Bees' desire to receive £40million for the Spain international, who only has one year left to run on his contract, saw them instead make their move for Vicario.
