‘Gone under the radar’: Tottenham Hotspur fans told to appreciate 26-year-old player more
Paul Merson has praised Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, noting that he is going under the radar because of the form of James Maddison.
Guglielmo Vicario transferred from Empoli to Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer period.
Vicario has established himself as Tottenham’s starting goalkeeper.
In the summer of 2023, James Maddison transferred from Leicester City to Tottenham.
The offensive midfielder for England has made an immediate impact at Tottenham and is currently one of the top players in the Premier League.
The playmaker, who is 26 years old, has so far this season contributed two assists and two goals for Spurs in five Premier League games.
Praise for Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario
Merson, a former Arsenal player and Sky Sports analyst, has stated that Tottenham supporters need to show more respect for the 26-year-old Italian goalie Vicario.
“Earlier this month, Burnley had 16 shots against Tottenham and scored twice despite losing 5-2,” Merson noted in SportsKeeda.
“I’m hesitant to say that Spurs won’t fare well against Arsenal if they play a similar style of game.
“Guglielmo Vicario deserves a chance for settling in between the posts for Tottenham; I’d say he’s fallen a little under the radar because James Maddison has stolen the show at the start of the season,” the author said.
Guglielmo Vicario will be massive for Tottenham v Arsenal
We believe Guglielmo Vicario will play a significant role for Tottenham Hotspur this Saturday when they take on Arsenal in the North London derby.
Arsenal has a strong offensive line, so we anticipate seeing plenty of shots on goal from the Gunners against Tottenham.
Vicario will have to perform admirably.
Vicario has been outstanding for Spurs thus far this season and has been a reliable pair of hands, as Merson points out.
In the North London derby against Arsenal, Tottenham fans will be hoping that the 26-year-old Italian sensation puts on the style.
