Guglielmo Vicario has been a breath of fresh air for Tottenham Hotspur.
The 27-year-old was signed by Tottenham Hotspur in the summer for £17.2 million from Serie A side, Empoli.
Whilst ex-Tottenham centre-back Michael Dawson expected strong performances from Guglielmo Vicario, even he is ‘surprised’ by how quick of an impact he has had, as he told Soccer Special on Sky Sports (26/12/23 at 2:30 pm).
With the 2023/24 Premier League season at the halfway stage, talk was about who would make the Team of the Season so far.
And Michael Dawson was keen to put Guglielmo Vicario’s name forward as the number one goalkeeper, and in truth, you can’t blame him.
Tottenham’s new shot-stopper has been so paramount to their strong start to the season, which also saw them sitting top of the Premier League table for several weeks.
Given the open nature in which Ange Postecoglou’s side play, this makes Guglielmo Vicario’s performances even better.
Guglielmo Vicario surprise at Tottenham
“I think he has been magnificent since he came through the doors at Spurs,” said Dawson. “Probably a little surprised he has hit the ground running as quickly as he has.
“Certainly a surprise for me. How is he going to settle in? How is he going to be? The style of play that Ange Postecoglou has them playing.
“He plays very short. But the saves he makes, he is a sweeper keeper you can say. I think he has been absolutely magnificent, so he is in the team for me.”
Guglielmo Vicario – Tottenham’s best buy?
For once, Spurs have got a lot of things right in the transfer market. For years, the recruitment has been shabby, but not now.
It helps when you have a manager – Ange Postecoglou – who just ticks nearly every box Spurs want him to tick.
And whilst the likes of Micky van de Ven and James Maddison get plaudits for being Tottenham’s best signings this season.
It could be argued that Vicario is perhaps the best of the lot and certainly one of the best pound-for-pound buys in the league itself.
