A report has shared what Tottenham Hotspur insiders have been saying about Guglielmo Vicario behind the scenes.
The Athletic claims that people at Spurs feel as if Vicario has been at the club for years due to his confidence.
Vicario has enjoyed an exceptional start to life at Tottenham after joining from Empoli for a fee worth £17 million over the summer.
The 27-year-old put in a brilliant display against Chelsea on Monday evening despite conceding four times in the 4-1 loss.
It led to high praise from Jamie Carragher, who was stunned by Vicario’s display.
The Italian shot-stopper continues to impress and has provided an assured option between the stick for Ange Postecoglou.
And it seems that Vicario has quickly settled in at Tottenham behind the scenes.
What Tottenham insiders have been saying about Vicario
The Athletic reports that Tottenham insiders have noticed Vicario’s ‘understated confidence’ behind the scenes.
It’s noted that he leaves the impression that he has been at the club for many years, rather than just a few months.
It was always going to be difficult for Tottenham to replace Hugo Lloris after the Frenchman had been such an important player for them over the years.
But they have seemingly struck gold at the first attempt with Vicario and he’s arguably been the best goalkeeper in the league so far this season.
Many were unsure of what to expect from the former Empoli man and he did endure a shaky debut at Brentford on the opening day.
But the talented shot-stopper hasn’t put a foot wrong since and he seems like the perfect goalkeeper for Postecoglou’s preferred style of play.
Not only that, you can see that Vicario has already become a real leader on the pitch as he regularly communicates with his defenders, so it’s no surprise to hear of his confidence behind the scenes at Spurs.
