Guglielmo Vicario first words

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.

In his first interview after signing, the 26-year-old said: "It's a dream for me to be here. It is one of the biggest teams in England and in the Premier League so I'd like to start quickly to join my teammates.

"For me it is a big pleasure to be here. It was my first choice, I wanted to go to the Premier League and for me it is so exciting."
