Tottenham have already decided to move on from a mainstay player and sell him when the summer transfer window opens, according to a new report.
Igor Tudor given mountainous task at Tottenham
Spurs interim boss Igor Tudor is tasked with steadying the ship in north London until the club turn attentions towards the likes of Roberto De Zerbi and Mauricio Pochettino, but the job on his hands is extraordinary.
When Tudor was parachuted into N17 to replace the sacked Thomas Frank, nobody was pretending it was going to be straightforward.
However, even by Tottenham's remarkable standards of chaos this season, the scale of what Tudor has inherited is staggering.
Spurs sit 16th in the Premier League, just four points above the relegation zone, with their season long since reduced to a desperate scramble for survival.
Tudor's opening chapter could hardly have gone worse — a 4-1 thrashing in the North London Derby in his very first game in charge, handed to him by Arsenal with barely a hint of mercy.
Before that, Frank had endured a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford and a 2-1 home loss to Newcastle. The football has been wretched, the results ugly, and the atmosphere around the club toxic.
The Croatian has had little time to drill his ideas into the squad, and the squad itself offer limited comfort.
Micky van de Ven, arguably the one player Spurs could genuinely build around, has had his contract talks placed on hold and is now attracting serious interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Youngster Mikey Moore, currently thriving on loan at Rangers, is also reportedly keen on a permanent Ibrox switch.
Every week brings another story, another complication, another reason to worry.
And now, fresh information has emerged that reveals just how dramatically ENIC are prepared to reshape this squad in the summer — regardless of what division they are playing in next season.
Tottenham decide to 'brutally' sell Guglielmo Vicario this summer
According to TEAMtalk and journalist Graeme Bailey, Tottenham have already made the decision to 'brutally' sell Guglielmo Vicario when the season ends - 'regardless' of who their next head coach is.
The Italian, who has been first choice since arriving from Empoli in the summer of 2023, will apparently be moved on.The club's hierarchy have resolved to find a younger, more dynamic replacement — and they believe they have found exactly the right man.
His name is Robin Risser.
Just 21 years old, Risser has been one of the most impressive goalkeepers in Ligue 1 this season, playing a central role in Lens' remarkable title challenge.
The Lens stopper has kept nine clean sheets in 23 league appearances, conceding just 20 goals, as his club trail leaders PSG by only two points.
His performances have not gone unnoticed on the international stage either, with sources indicating he is firmly in the frame for France's pre-World Cup friendlies against Brazil and Colombia this summer.
Tottenham's scouting department has been watching Risser closely, and he has risen to the top of their wishlist. Competition, though, will be fierce.
Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest are both understood to be monitoring him, and clubs from across Europe have had him flagged. Spurs will need to move decisively if they are to win the race
