There has been significant speculation surrounding the future of Guglielmo Vicario, though other reports suggest Tottenham are not looking to replace the Italian.<\/p>\n
According to Dean Jones, Spurs are targeting a new goalkeeper to serve as Vicario\u2019s understudy and take Antonin Kinsky\u2019s spot in the squad.<\/p>\n
Man City may not be willing to sell James Trafford to Tottenham<\/p>\n
Manchester City\u2019s James Trafford has previously been linked with a move to Spurs, especially as the Englishman has struggled for minutes following Gianluigi Donnarumma\u2019s arrival at the Etihad.<\/p>\n
However, journalist Pete O\u2019Rourke claims that despite Trafford\u2019s desire to leave, City are reluctant to part ways with their number two. Speaking to Football Insider, O\u2019Rourke said:<\/p>\n
\u201cTrafford isn\u2019t happy right now because he\u2019s playing second fiddle to Donnarumma. He wants to push for a place in England\u2019s World Cup squad, but without regular minutes that becomes difficult. That\u2019s why speculation over his future has intensified. Newcastle have admired him for a long time, Aston Villa have been mentioned due to uncertainty over Emiliano Martinez, and Spurs are also in the mix. But I just don\u2019t see City letting him go in January. Even if he\u2019s unhappy, they won\u2019t want to weaken their goalkeeping options mid-season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spurs may soon need a new number one<\/p>\n
Tottenham could be forced to search for a first-choice goalkeeper in the summer if reports from Italy prove accurate. Some sources claim Vicario\u2019s representatives are in talks with Inter Milan about a possible move to the San Siro, with the 29-year-old reportedly open to returning home at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n
Emi Martinez of Aston Villa has been mentioned as a potential replacement should Vicario depart. It has also been widely reported that Spurs are actively exploring the goalkeeper market ahead of the January transfer window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
