Hugo Lloris' time as Tottenham's number one goalkeeper has passed, with 26-year-old summer signing Guglielmo Vicario establishing himself as the new first choice. Early statistics and the eye test suggest Vicario is an upgrade on the aging Lloris, with his shot-stopping, distribution, communication skills and bravery on the ball suiting coach Ange Postecoglou's style. If Vicario maintains this form, he could soon displace Gianluigi Donnarumma as Italy's first choice keeper ahead of Euro 2024.
