The North Londoners are ready to clear out their unwanted shot stopper while closing in on a spectacular midfield signing ahead of the new campaign.

The goalkeeper situation at Tottenham Hotspur is changing rapidly following the disastrous seventeenth-place finish last term. Guglielmo Vicario looks certain to leave the English capital after falling completely out of favour. Italian giants Juventus now view the shot stopper as a genuine target for the summer transfer window.

The Turin powerhouse turned to the Spurs keeper after failing to sign Alisson from Liverpool. Juventus then made Aston Villa star Emi Martinez their primary target. However, the ambitious Midlands club refuses to drop their valuation below ten million euros, forcing the Italian side to consider a move for the Tottenham outcast instead.

Italian journalist Mirko Di Natale confirmed that the unneeded keeper remains a very serious backup plan for Juventus. Napoli are also entering the race after holding a significant meeting with the player recently. The North Londoners are eager to sanction a quick sale to clear vital squad space this week.

The Lilywhites completely reshape the squad before a tough opening trip to Brentford

The N17 faithful already know who will start between the sticks next season. The club intends to trust young Antonin Kinsky as the number one choice. Veteran keeper Martin Dubravka has arrived from Burnley to provide reliable cover and push the young starter, though it remains unknown if Roberto De Zerbi wants a third option.

The manager is focusing club resources on a completely different area of the pitch. Tottenham are making massive progress in negotiations to land Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali. The elite Italian international will command a massive transfer fee that could easily approach the one hundred million pounds mark.

That colossal investment will immediately raise expectations for the new look squad. De Zerbi needs his core signings through the door before the competitive action returns in August. The Lilywhites face a tricky opening fixture away at Brentford, where they must prove that the nightmares of the terrifying relegation threat are completely over for good.
