Guglielmo Vicario has revealed a guarantee of thrilling football under Ange Postecoglou sold him on a transfer to Tottenham.
The former Celtic boss made a personal pitch to the £17million keeper after he swapped Empoli for a chance to be a key contributor amid the mammoth Spurs rebuild under the Greek-Australian. Tottenham were keen on Brentford sweeper-keeper David Raya but baulked at the Bees' asking price that was in excess of £30m. And now Vicario is hell-bent on proving he can thrive playing Angeball for his new manager.
Speaking after his unveiling, he said: “I spoke with him, and he told me the keeper is so important with his attacking mentality. He wants to dominate the game. I love this mentality. It will be a big chance for me. I didn’t believe this opportunity. I told my agent it’s my first choice, I want to go to the Premier League and a big club like Spurs. For me, it’s so exciting.
