Tottenham Hotspur are fans of a Premier League goalkeeper, but the race for his signature could heat up as Leeds United and Aston Villa join the party.
It has been widely reported over the last few months that Inter Milan are plotting a summer move for Guglielmo Vicario.
According to reports from Italy, the Tottenham number one is keen on returning to Serie A at the end of this season after three years in North London.
It was reported back in December that Man City’s James Trafford has been identified by the Lilywhites as a potential replacement for Vicario.
Leeds United ready to challenge Tottenham for James Trafford
A new report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Thomas Frank’s men may have to overcome competition from Leeds United to sign the City youngster.
The report says that Leeds are prioritising signing a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, with Daniel Frake thought to be underwhelmed by Lucas Perri since his move from Lyon last summer.
The Yorkshire club are looking for a reliable option between the sticks, and Trafford’s name ranking high on their wishlist.
The Whites are said to be ‘closely monitoring’ the situation of the 23-year-old, who has found game time hard to come by at the Etihad Stadium this summer.
Spurs may face competition from two more clubs for Trafford
TEAMtalk say that the competition for the City goalkeeper could be ‘extremely fierce’ next summer should Pep Guardiola’s men decide to let him go.
Apart from Leeds and Tottenham Hotspur, it is revealed that Aston Villa are also eyeing a move for Trafford amidst the uncertainty over the future of Emiliano Martinez.
Finally, the report claims that Newcastle United came close to signing the English shot stopper last summer and would ‘likely throw their hat back into the ring’ if he becomes available at the end of this season.
