Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has been criticised for his inconsistencies since joining the club.
The Italian has done reasonably well for the London club, but he has struggled with aerial balls and set pieces. Spurs are now reportedly looking at potential alternatives, and they have identified Mile Svilar as a potential target, as per reports via SportWitness.
Spurs and Chelsea keen on Mile Svilar
The 26-year-old goalkeeper has done quite well for Roma, and he is valued at €70 million. Tottenham are not the only Premier League club keen on him, and they will face competition from rivals Chelsea.
Both clubs could use a quality goalkeeper, and the 26-year-old could be the ideal acquisition. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be attractive for the player as well. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to break the bank for the 26-year-old, who was named the best goalkeeper in Italian football last season. He could very well win the award again this season. He has been outstanding since joining the Italian club.
Svilar is highly rated
Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini has labelled him as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe and football.
Gasperini said: “He’s a goalkeeper who brings a lot of points. He can be compared to a 25-goal striker. He’s certainly among the best in Europe.”
It is no surprise that Roma are holding out for a premium. It remains to be seen whether the two English clubs are prepared to pay up for him. Even though the asking price might seem like a premium, he has his best years ahead of himself, and he could justify the investment in the long term.
Tottenham are looking to build a team capable of winning major trophies, and they need elite players at their disposal. The 26-year-old could be a defining acquisition for them.
