Tottenham Hotspur Have Set Their Sights On This Serie A Keeper: Decent Fit For De Zerbi? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Calciomercato stated that Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on AS Roma keeper Mile Svilar. It has been mentioned that Spurs are eyeing a move to land the Serbian talent in the upcoming transfer window.

Svilar’s Impressive Form In Serie A

Svilar is having a solid campaign at the Italian club as he has produced a run of impressive displays in goal for them in Serie A. The 26-year-old has conceded 42 goals and secured 19 clean sheets in 45 matches for Roma this season across various competitions.

The Serbian talent is currently one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A. Therefore, Spurs would do well to lure him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.

His current contract at the Italian club will run out in the summer of 2030, which could make it difficult for the North London club to land him on a cut-price deal at the end of this campaign.

Is Svilar A Decent Fit For Tottenham Hotspur?

Svilar is a solid handler of the ball and can use his quick reflexes to make a few important saves at the back for his team. He can use his towering 1.89m frame to dominate his penalty area and doesn’t hesitate to come out of his lines to clear the danger when needed.

The Serbian talent can be a safe pair of hands in between the sticks when he is playing with confidence on the pitch. However, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the high intensity of the Premier League if Spurs manage to bring him on board this off-season.

We can expect Svilar to enhance the quality of Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi’s backline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the North London club in the coming years.

At 26, Svilar has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent fit for the Premier League outfit’s needs this summer. However, De Zerbi has to give him some time to adjust to life at the London club before he can get the best out of the talented keeper. With all things considered, Spur should focus on snapping him up later this year.
