Power of Postecoglou woos top Tottenham transfer target but Maddison warned over 'p***** off' gamble at Spurs

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.
