Tottenham Hotspur Aim For Premier League Safety As Inter Milan Target Misses De Zerbi’s First Games Through Injury | OneFootball

Guglielmo Vicario and his time at Tottenham Hotspur is coming to an end, and Inter Milan remain firmly on course to sign the Spurs goalkeeper despite his absence from Roberto De Zerbi’s opening games in charge at the club.

Spurs are fighting a relegation battle, sitting third from bottom, behind West Ham and Nottingham Forest. One of those three will drop to the Championship.

Vicario has not featured in De Zerbi’s first games, as noted by L’Interista.

Antonin Kinsky started in the Sunderland opener and will do so again against Brighton.

The Italy international was recovering from injury, but his Spurs career is effectively over regardless.

Josep Martinez Future Unclear As Inter Push Ahead With Spurs Keeper Vicario Pursuit

Indeed, Vicario’s imminent departure raises a question about Josep Martinez, Inter’s current backup who cost around €15 million from Genoa.

The Spaniard has shown quality when given opportunities.

Good distribution, strong saves and commanding presence between the posts have all been evident.

However, neither Inzaghi nor Chivu ever made him the undisputed first choice.

Sommer held the position throughout, even after a difficult season.

Furthermore, Martinez’s difficult personal circumstances following a tragic road accident in October added further complexity to an already uncertain situation.

Therefore, a decision must be made. Could Inter save the Vicario fee and build around Martinez?

The answer, it seems, is no. Inter have already decided, Vicario is the target and the pursuit will continue regardless.
