Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to sign a new goalkeeper at the end of the season, and Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen has emerged as a key target.
Verbruggen has become one of the most highly rated shot stoppers in the Premier League this season and is on Johan Lange’s list of targets.
True or false: Tottenham MUST upgrade Guglielmo Vicario…
Guglielmo Vicario could soon be replaced in North London, given the question marks over his ability.
Tottenham fans have been eager for the club to sign an upgrade on the Italian for quite some time, but they will have to wait until the summer.
Tottenham plan to replace Guglielmo Vicario next summer
Tottenham Hotspur are planning to replace Vicario next summer, according to Graeme Bailey.
Right now, Spurs have no immediate plans to replace the Italian shot stopper in January, but it will soon become a task for Lange and his team.
Speaking about Tottenham’s transfer plans after signing Conor Gallagher, Bailey told TeamTalk: “I think they’ll do the goalkeeper.

“Not in January, I don’t think. I think they’ll do it in the summer, definitely, and as we know, they’re working on players, like Verbruggen and plenty of goalkeepers on the continent.”
Complete the sentence: The goalkeeper Tottenham should sign next summer is ____________
🧤 Who should replace Vicario?
Brighton’s Verbruggen is one of the players on their list of targets as they start to consider which player they will sign.
The Seagulls signed the Dutch goalkeeper for £16.3 million, according to BBC Sport, back in the summer of 2023.
Verbruggen has really impressed on the South Coast since making the switch from Anderlecht, and next summer he could be on the move again.
His performances have seen him become Ronald Koeman’s first-choice goalkeeper for the Dutch national team, starting alongside Micky van de Ven and Xavi Simons.
Antonin Kinsky will surely want to leave Tottenham
One player who won’t be impressed by the arrival of Verbruggen is Antonin Kinsky, who will surely want to leave Tottenham soon.
West Ham have been linked with Kinsky; meanwhile, clubs from France have also entered the race to sign him on loan in January.
The goalkeeper has played just 180 minutes of football this season and must be thinking about getting out of Spurs soon.
