What Tottenham insiders are saying about Guglielmo Vicario’s future following Thomas Frank’s appointment

A recent report has provided insight into whether new Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank is considering parting ways with first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario as he begins shaping the squad ahead of the upcoming season.

Frank previously relied heavily on Mark Flekken at Brentford, with the Dutch keeper playing a key role in building attacks by delivering long balls over the press—an approach that raised speculation about Vicario’s fit under the new system.

Earlier this week, TBR Football suggested that Frank might opt to move Vicario on in favor of a goalkeeper better suited to his tactical style. AC Milan have reportedly identified the Italian as their top candidate to replace Mike Maignan, who is expected to leave the club this summer.

Will Tottenham sell Vicario this summer?

However, The Sun now reports that Frank is unlikely to offload any of his current goalkeepers or bring in a new one before the start of his first season in charge. While Milan remain keen on Vicario, Tottenham sources have reportedly dismissed the possibility of the 27-year-old being sold.

That said, Frank still faces a decision regarding his starting goalkeeper. The report suggests he will need to choose between sticking with Vicario or giving an opportunity to January arrival Antonin Kinsky.

Why keeping Vicario may be crucial for Frank

With some players reportedly unhappy about Ange Postecoglou’s departure, Frank is under pressure to earn the squad’s trust. Vicario, a respected figure in the dressing room, could be key in helping the new manager establish authority and build relationships.

This becomes even more significant with ongoing uncertainty surrounding the futures of key players like Cristian Romero and Heung-min Son. Keeping Vicario could provide much-needed stability during this period of transition.
