Tottenham Eyes £50m Deal for Guglielmo Vicario’s Successor

Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly looking for a potential successor to Guglielmo Vicario, who may leave the club after three years. There are strong indications that Inter Milan is interested in signing Vicario in the upcoming summer transfer window. This development has prompted Spurs to explore their options for a replacement goalkeeper.

Tottenham’s Target: Robin Roefs

According to recent reports, Tottenham has set its sights on Robin Roefs, currently playing for Sunderland. Roefs has impressed in his debut season in the Premier League after transferring from NEC Nijmegen. He boasts the second-highest save percentage in the league, which highlights his skills and potential as a top-tier goalkeeper.

Sunderland’s Response

• Sunderland has signed Melker Ellborg from Malmo as part of their plan should they lose Roefs.
• The club is aware of the ‘serious risk’ of losing the 23-year-old goalkeeper next season.
• Roefs’s remarkable performance has attracted attention from various Premier League clubs.

Competition for Roefs

While Tottenham is keen on Roefs, they face considerable competition. Top clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea have also shown interest in securing the young shot-stopper. Reports suggest that offers exceeding £50 million could be part of the discussions for Roefs this summer.

As interest in Roefs escalates, Tottenham must strategize effectively to secure their preferred candidate in what promises to be a competitive transfer market.
