Tottenham keen on £26m Bundesliga goalkeeper and selling Vicario could help in two ways

1 hour ago 24

Tottenham Hotspur have identified a rising Bundesliga star as a possible replacement for Guglielmo Vicario amid Inter and Juventus links.

It would not be a surprise to see several exits from Spurs this summer on the back of another disastrous Premier League campaign.

One of the players who is being most heavily linked with an exit is Guglielmo Vicairo, who is thought to be open to a switch to Inter Milan in the summer.

It has now emerged that the Lilywhites are ready to make a move for a 23-year-old goalkeeper, whose stock is rising rapidly in the Bundesliga.

Tottenham eyeing move for Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu

According to a report in Fussball Europa, Tottenham have been impressed with the development of Freiburg’s Noah Atubolu.

The report says that Spurs are aware that they could lose Vicario in the summer and have thus started working on potential replacements.

The club’s recruitment department are considering an approach for Atubolu, whose impressive form at club level has seen him called up to the Germany squad recently.

The outlet claims that losing the young goalkeeper would be ‘unavoidable’ for Freiburg in the summer if they do not manage to tie him down to a new contract over the coming months.

Atubolu’s price revealed as Spurs face competition

Interestingly, Fussball Europa say that the German goalkeeper is also on the radars of Inter, who are speaking to the player’s representatives to keep updated on his situation.

Ironically, with Inter also liking the look of Vicario, we could end up seeing somewhat of a merry-go-round this summer – if Spurs part ways with the Italian.

The report adds that Freiburg will not let Atubolu leave without a fight and have placed a price tag of at least €30m (£26.1m) on him.

It is revealed that, for the moment, the 23-year-old is solely focused on having a strong end to the season and going to the World Cup.
