Tottenham Hotspur have made their first move in signing Hugo Lloris' replacement this summer by enquiring for Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Spurs look increasingly likely to have a new No.1 in goal next season, with Lloris facing heavy criticism last season. The Frenchman also enters the final 12 months of his deal in north London. "We are coming to an important moment, whether for the club or for me. It's the end of an era. I have desires for other things," he said in an interview with French media outlet Nice-Matin.
"I will ask myself quietly to study what will be possible. But I don't forget that I still have a year of contract with Tottenham and that in football it is always difficult to predict what will happen. What is essential at the moment is to recover well from my injury. I'm on vacation but I continue to talk and do my training. My goal is to be on top in July, then we'll see what the future holds for me."
