Tottenham sign new goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario as Lloris replacement

Spurs snub David Raya over expensive fee

Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli for about £16.3m, making him their first signing under Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs were in the market for a new goalkeeper after captain Hugo Lloris revealed that he wishes to leave the club this summer after 11 years as their first-choice goalkeeper.

Tottenham approached Brentford for 27-year-old David Raya, who is entering the final year of his contract with the Bees. They agreed personal terms with the Spaniard but decided that £40m was too expensive for a goalkeeper in the final year of his contract.

Postecoglou’s side then turned to Empoli goalkeeper Vicario, who has joined them for less than half of Raya’s cost on a five-year deal.

Guglielmo Vicario becomes the first new signing for Tottenham this summer and the second player whom they have negotiated for after they negotiated a permanent deal for Dean Kulusevski with Juventus earlier.
