Tottenham could be offered Davide Frattesi in a potential swap deal for Guglielmo Vicario as the January transfer window approaches.

Vicario’s future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has never looked more uncertain, with the goalkeeper continuously linked away.

A series of mistakes from the Italian have seen criticism grow, especially after his error in the 2-1 defeat to Fulham.

Therefore, with the January transfer window closing in, plenty of teams are interested in the goalkeeper as he looks to end a nightmare few months at the North London club.

Now, with Frattesi potentially coming in in exchange, Spurs could be offered a fantastic deal.

Inter could offer Davide Frattesi for Guglielmo Vicario

According to Inter Live on 5 December, the Serie A outfit are interested in Vicario as they prepare for the exit of Yann Sommer.

In order to capture the goalkeeper, the article suggests that Spurs could be offered Frattesi in exchange.

If this deal is presented, Thomas Frank would be a fool not to accept, with this being a potential deal of a lifetime.

Frattesi is a seasoned Italian international, and while the midfielder has slipped down the pecking order recently, it is still evident that he is a quality player.

The 26-year-old started in the Coppa Italia last weekend with Frattesi picking up two assists in a 5-1 win.

Therefore, given the fact that Spurs could be offered a fantastic midfielder for a goalkeeper who can’t keep a clean sheet, Spurs would be fools to say no.

How good is Frattesi?

According to Fotmob on 6 December, Frattesi is an excellent player.

Attacking-wise, you don’t get much better from a central midfielder, with the 26-year-old averaging 3.18 shots and a 0.42 xG per game.

On top of this, Frattesi creates plenty of chances at 1.82 per match despite his passing accuracy being low at 73.2 per cent.
