Tottenham eye Noah Atubolu transfer as Freiburg set price tag
Tottenham want to sign Noah Atubolu from Freiburg this summer.
Guglielmo Vicario has been linked with an exit from Tottenham, and as a result, the North Londoners have identified Atubolu as a potential replacement.
That is according to a report from Fussball Europa, which states that Inter Milan are the latest side to have shown an interest in Vicario.
Atubolu has made 32 appearances for Freiburg this season, including eight in the Europa League, where he has kept four clean sheets and conceded just four goals.
The Bundesliga outfit are unwilling to let go of the 23-year-old without a fight, and are believed to have placed a price tag in the region of £26million this summer.
What does this mean for Guglielmo Vicario?
Vicario has been poor at Tottenham for a while now, and all signs certainly point towards his exit from North London in the summer.
However, whether Spurs make a move for Atubolu or not will largely depend on the future of the Italian, who has also been linked with Juventus.
As per xG, Vicario has conceded 1.91 more goals than he would have been expected to in the Premier League this season when taking into account the quality of shots faced.
Added to that, the Italian has also made two errors that have led to a goal at Tottenham, showcasing his tendency to drop a howler.
However, Atubolu is not the only goalkeeper to have been linked with Spurs as they look to strengthen their goalkeeping department.
Who else could replace Guglielmo Vicario at Tottenham?
A lot of this will depend on which league Tottenham are in, with relegation a real possibility.
But working on the assumption they can avoid the drop, there are several options that they have already been linked with.
Robin Roefs has been a star for Sunderland this season, and he has been mooted for a move to North London in recent weeks.
However, the Black Cats are said to want a fee in the region of £50m for their Dutchman, which makes a deal seem unlikely.
Elsewhere, James Trafford has also been linked, which, when taking into account his lack of importance at Man City, seems like a much more reasonable option.
