Tottenham are one of the sides who are showing an interest in signing Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen ahead of the summer transfer window, according to a report from TEAMtalk.
Spurs could be in the market for a new goalkeeper when the window opens later this year, amid uncertainty surrounding the future of Guglielmo Vicario.
The goalkeeper position might not be the only area of the pitch that the north London club look to strengthen after such a disappointing season. We could see Spurs reinforce multiple positions when the market opens as they look to head back in the right direction.
Tottenham are likely to be planning their recruitment around a potential new manager and system too, with Igor Tudor only joining on a deal until the end of the season.
Tottenham Eyeing Goalkeeper Addition
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Brighton goalkeeper Verbruggen in the summer window.
The report claims that Spurs are ready to sell Vicario in the summer transfer window, while Chelsea are also keen on signing Verbruggen.
It's understood that Brighton are set to demand a fee in the region of £50m to allow Verbruggen to depart later this year. The Seagulls already have Carl Rushworth as a backup, with the 24-year-old currently out on loan, so they appear to be open to allowing him to leave the club in the coming months.
With Vicario potentially heading through the exit door, Spurs are clearly already making a plan to replace him in the summer window.
Vicario Wants to Leave Tottenham
Although it's not ideal for Spurs to have to find a new goalkeeper in the summer, when it's likely to be a busy window anyway, there's little point keeping a player at the club if he doesn't want to be there.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Vicario is 'fully open' to joining Inter Milan in the summer transfer window. The Italian club consider the Spurs goalkeeper a serious target, so it wouldn't be a surprise if a deal takes place.
If Tottenham can find an adequate replacement, whether that be Verbruggen, described as 'unbelievable' by Fabian Hurzeler, or someone else, then it might make sense for them to sanction the sale of Vicario when the market opens later this year.
