It won't be long at all until Tottenham fans get to see Guglielmo Vicario in action for the very first time. With Saturday marking the beginning of July, Ange Postecoglou's Spurs team will soon be jetting off across the globe for their pre-season games against West Ham, Leicester City and AS Roma.
Vicario, fresh from his transfer from Italian side Empoli that was completed on Tuesday evening, will be in line to feature in the games in Perth, Bangkok and Singapore as the new head coach gets his plans in place for the upcoming season. Earning rave reviews in Italy over the past couple of years, Tottenham will have some goalkeeper on their hands if the 26-year-old can replicate his outstanding Serie A form in the Premier League.
Going to have some big gloves to fill after Hugo Lloris' 11 years in north London, former Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel has opened up on the learning phase facing Vicario once he makes his Premier League bow. Rated incredibly highly in Italy, Friedel has stated that the Italian must "navigate the Premier League" if he is to be considered one of the best in the world.
