Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign RC Lens goalkeeper Robin Risser.
The 21-year-old French goalkeeper has done well this season and is being considered a potential replacement for Guglielmo Vicario. The Italian has been quite underwhelming since joining the club. He can be quite error-prone, and Tottenham need a more reliable option at their disposal.
Vicario has made multiple mistakes since joining the club, but he is “always blaming” his teammates, as Jamie Carragher rightly pointed out earlier this season.
Tottenham to replace Vicario with Robin Risser
According to a report from TEAMtalk (h/t CaughtOffside), Tottenham are prepared to cash in on the Italian, and they want to sign the Frenchman as a replacement. He’s a young player with a lot of potential, and he could develop into a top-class goalkeeper for Tottenham. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for him as well.
It will be interesting to see if Spurs follow up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done. Vicario has been linked with a return to Italy, and clubs like Juventus are keen on him.
A return to his comfort zone would be ideal for the Italian international. He needs a fresh start in order to regain his form and confidence. He has struggled with the physicality of the Premier League, and Tottenham would do well to replace him.
