Tottenham Hotspur staff were spotted with one of new signing Guglielmo Vicario's agents as they awaited the Italian goalkeeper's arrival at Stansted Airport.
The Empoli goalkeeper is set to sign for Spurs for a reported fee of €19million (£16.3million) with the 26-year-old having starred in Serie A for the past two years and been a member of Roberto Mancini's Italy squad. football.london reported this week that Fabio Paratici, who is still involved on a consultancy basis with the north London club, had long been an admirer of Vicario, along with chief scout Leonardo Gabbanini, and had made enquires about the shot-stopper's availability earlier this year.
One eagle-eyed Tottenham fan spotted at the airport the north London club's multi-lingual player liaison officer Roberto Balbontin and Allan Dixon, who used to be a player liaison officer for years but now has the title of team manager, and can often be seen holding up the substitution board during matches.
