‘Outstanding’: Micah Richards and Gary Lineker blown away by £17m Tottenham star v Everton
In recent years, Tottenham Hotspur’s recruitment has taken a bit of a beating and their transfers have been questioned.
Guglielmo Vicario was one of their most notable purchases throughout the last summer’s business, which was among their greatest in a long time.
With Tottenham’s 2-1 victory against Everton, Micah Richards believes he and Alisson Becker of Liverpool are now maybe the finest goalkeepers in the Premier League, he told Match of the Day.
Guglielmo Vicario was described as “outstanding” by the former right-back, and Gary Lineker concurred, saying that he had been “brilliant” the entire season.
After signing a £17.2-million contract with Empoli, the Italy international had enormous shoes to fill given the roughly 10 years of service Hugo Lloris had given the team.
But, Hugo Lloris, who is still with the team, was having difficulties and giving poor performances, which was the reason Spurs were experiencing problems in goal lately.
They defeated Everton 2-1 yesterday because Guglielmo Vicario didn’t require much time to get used to his new role.
Guglielmo Vicario’s performances
“The goalkeeper for Spurs, Vicario was outstanding,” said Richards.
Lineker interrupted and stated: “Vicario has been brilliant this season.”
Richards added: “He has been brilliant. I think he has been the best keeper so far, along with Alisson.”
Tottenham into the top four
Tottenham was able to take advantage of the situation and climb up to fourth position in the Premier League standings while Manchester City was away for the Club World Cup.
Spurs are in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League the next season if they can persevere through these next few weeks, so this is a really important time for them.
The straightforward explanation is that players like Rodrigo Bentancur, Micky van de Ven, and James Maddison will be back in action.
Not to include Yves Bissouma, who will likely not play until February due to suspension and African Cup of Nations duties, all of them are starters when healthy.
