Tottenham's summer transfer window is finally underway as the first signing of the Ange Postecoglou era has been completed. Guglielmo Vicario has officially joined Spurs on a five-year deal from Italian side Empoli, taking the No.13 shirt for the coming season.
The 26-year-old impressed last campaign, where the shot-stopper helped guide his team clear of relegation and into 14th in the league, including one particular highlight that involved a triple save to deny Tammy Abraham from close-range. While he has impressed when facing chances, it's perhaps his other attributes that are key to the signing.
Postecoglou favours possession-based football, where his keeper will be crucial to the build-up on the ball with passing from the back. Add to that a keen ability to dominate the area and sweep behind a high line if necessary and there's the ingredients for a top level modern goalkeeper.
