Ben Jacobs: ‘Tottenham are likely to sign a new goalkeeper’
Jacobs outlined an ambitious strategy on his YouTube channel, Last Word On Spurs, that could bring in up to six new first-team starters.
The swap starts at the goal. Guglielmo Vicario has attracted strong interest from Italian giants Inter Milan and Juventus, while young goalkeeper Anton Kinski has made some great saves during his survival and is highly favored by the club.
Despite their faith in Kinski, Tottenham are “very likely” to sign a new number one. Unpopular Lucas Chevalier is PSG’s top target, but Newcastle are leading the race to sign James Trafford, another option.
Jacobs said:
“Well, they have to look at the goalkeeper situation. Both Inter and Juventus are interested in Vicario. By the way, it’s great to see Anton Kinski doing well and playing a big role in Tottenham staying. He made some great saves.”
“So, under Igor Tudor, there was a feeling that he might leave, but I think things are different now and Tottenham are still banking on Kinski’s success – but of course they could add a number one goalkeeper, and in fact it’s very likely.”
“And Lucas Chevalier is one of them. He came to PSG as the number one goalkeeper, but he didn’t become the number one goalkeeper right away. And now he’s considering leaving.”
“They are also considering James Trafford, but Newcastle would be considered the frontrunner at the moment.”
Guglielmo Vicario likely to leave Tottenham for Serie A
A key factor in causing this sudden ranking reset is the increased speculation surrounding current first-choice shot-stopper Guglielmo Vicario.
Vicario has been linked with a possible departure for several months, with several Serie A clubs eyeing his signature.
According to some reports, the Italian has already agreed personal terms with Inter Milan.
A looming return to his homeland means Vicario is widely expected to leave north London this summer.
Fortunately, the club has great confidence in young prospect Anton Kinski, who stepped up in a spectacular manner towards the end of the season.
