Tottenham transfer news: Guglielmo Vicario has been announced as the first signing of the summer transfer window for Tottenham, helping to solve their goalkeeping issues
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.
One of the key areas to be addressed is in midfield, where a playmaking presence has been missing from the squad for a few years now. A player that has been routinely linked with James Maddison, with the possibility of a deal only heightened with one-year remaining on his contract and Leicester's relegation from the Premier League.
Reports from Fabrizio Romano claim that personal terms have already been agreed with the England international ahead of a possible switch. A deal around the £40million mark could see the 26-year-old complete a move this summer, though there are other issues to consider.
