Son Heung-min’s ‘best friend’ Fraser Forster, 36, is a strictly ‘second string’ player.
He moved to Tottenham from Southampton in July 2002. He was Hugo Llorente’s backup. Last season, he made 14 appearances in the English Premier League (EPL) due to Yoris’ frequent injuries. He even earned a surprise recall to the England national team.
This season, however, his minutes have been harder to come by. Tottenham brought in Italian Guglielmo Vicario, 28, to replace Yossi. There were concerns.
After bouncing around the lower leagues, he became a Serie A starter with Empoli in the 2021-2022 season. His momentum continued in the 2022-2023 season, and Tottenham wanted him.
The transfer fee for Vicario was only £17 million (approximately $255 million). However, it didn’t take long for the question marks to turn into elation.
With his animal instincts and saves, 카지노사이트 Vicario led Tottenham’s breakout season. He started and played full-time in every EPL game (23).
Of course, he was criticized for his weakness at set-pieces against Everton three days later following a ‘bad-manners controversy’.
But that didn’t diminish his accolades as a top-value signing.
On July 7, Foster revealed his thoughts on Vicario on the Peter Crouch podcast with former Tottenham player Peter Crouch. When Crouch jokingly asked him, “Don’t you want him to break out,” he shook his head.
“He adapted quickly,” Foster said. I think his English is very good, which has helped him immensely,” Foster said. “It’s always hard when you come to a new club. “But the way he plays is really good. He’s settled in really well, and he’s perfect for the way the coach wants to play.”
He added: “Vicario has done really well, he’s flying around. “It’s not that we want someone to get injured, we just want them to be able to play at some point,” he added.
Spurs signed Foster to a one-year contract extension last December. Foster has only played one League Cup game this season, 메이저사이트 but he has played an excellent supporting role.
He has a great relationship with Son Heung-min. He is the “best friend” who is the first person to approach Son after a game or when he is substituted to offer encouragement.
