Best bang for the buck signing since Son Heung-min “Best day of my life at Tottenham”
When Guglielmo Vicario heard that Tottenham were interested in him, he only had eyes for Spurs.
In an interview with global soccer publication FourFourTwo on Tuesday, the player talked about his move to Spurs. For him, it was a dream come true.
He was a recognized goalkeeper in the Italian Serie A after his strong performance at Empoli. His performances at Empoli earned him a call-up to the Italian national team. In June 2023, he was training hard for the Italian national team when Tottenham contacted him.
“My agent told me, ‘I think Tottenham might be interested in you,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, Tottenham, I’d love that!’ Then the manager called me and we talked about soccer and life and I was very impressed with Enze Postecoglou. In just two days we had everything ready,” he said.
After a short break, Vicario traveled to England to sign with Tottenham. It was a dream come true for Vicario. “After a week of vacation, I headed to London to sign the contract. It was one of the best days of my life because it was one of my dreams to go to the Premier League (EPL),” he recalls happily.
His performances at Empoli were so good that other big clubs in Serie A were keeping an eye on him. “I don’t know,” he says, “but when I heard about 메이저토토사이트 Spurs’ interest, I didn’t want to hear anything else. I wanted to come here,” he said, revealing that he was hooked on Spurs even before he joined.
The atypical plastic surgeon was also keen to challenge himself when he moved to Tottenham. “You don’t need to be comfortable in life. If you live in a comfortable place, life becomes too easy. For me, moving to Tottenham was a challenge. The level of the EPL is the best in the world,” he added.
His choice is working out for the best. It’s no exaggeration to say that Vicario is Tottenham’s best value for money signing since Son Heung-min. Spurs only spent €18.5 million on the goalkeeper. Nowadays, even goalkeepers can cost well over €40 million. Considering his age and the position he plays, Vicario should be fine for the next five years.
