The departed goalkeeper continues chasing Italian glory while offering high praise for his new Juventus teammate.
The highly rated Guglielmo Vicario continues to make serious waves far away from Hotspur Way. The talented goalkeeper secured a high profile summer loan switch to Juventus, as the valued Italian international landed the move after Tottenham Hotspur sanctioned his departure.

Vicario clearly enjoys life back in his native country. The imposing goalkeeper immediately established himself as a reliable defensive presence for the Bianconeri. He recorded two impressive clean sheets during their opening two league fixtures. That flawless start perfectly highlights why the Italian giants demanded a favourable purchase option within his temporary agreement.
He recently discussed another major summer arrival in Turin. Nick Woltemade completed a massive deadline day switch from Newcastle United. The young German forward endured a deeply frustrating debut campaign on Tyneside. A permanent return to Germany looked extremely likely before Juventus officially secured his signature on loan.
Newcastle United’s Nick Woltemade is travelling to undergo a medical ahead of a proposed deadline day loan move to Juventus.

Vicario Backs Woltemade To Conquer The Italian Top Flight
Vicario strongly believes the towering forward possesses the necessary tools to completely thrive in Serie A. Many observers already compare his sheer physical stature to that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The North London loanee spoke exclusively to Gazzetta dello Sport regarding his new teammate. Vicario told the Italian daily that “his physical attributes are clear for all to see” on the pitch.
The passionate shot stopper firmly backed the young striker to make a massive impact. He praised his impressive ability and stated that “Nick is also very technical, good with his head, and at linking up play” during matches. Vicario also added that “we’ve only just met him, he’s a good lad” when discussing his initial impressions.

Former Germany manager Jurgen Klopp also praised the talented youngster earlier this year. If both loanees maintain their early momentum, then Juventus could permanently activate their respective transfer clauses. The N17 faithful will definitely monitor Vicario closely as he chases consistent minutes away from the intense Premier League spotlight.
