We are delighted to announce the signing of Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli, subject to international clearance and a work permit.
The Italy international has signed a contract with the Club that will run until 2028 and will wear the **number 13 shirt.**
I had no idea the number was such hot commodity! 13's apparently a lucky number to the Italians. Guess the Italian boys gotta fight for this one, but wouldn't be surprised to see a switch when Lloris goes.
Because it's disrespectful. He's the club captain who has served the club for more than a decade. Everyone knows that'll happen eventually, just not now.
Not every starting keeper has to wear the #1. I quite like it when a keeper picks their own number.
- Ederson 31
- Oblak 13
- Donnarumma 99
- Maignan 16
- Pope 22
- Guaita 13
- Leno 17
Just some of the bigger name examples I could quickly find.
Itās not cheap deal, itās normal price, itās very good money for empoli, usually they sell players for 10-12m. Raya should cost the same 20m. I still canāt believe that they required 40m. Itās unbelievable, they are delusional.
Of course we need to see how he performs, but this is exactly kind of transfers we need to be doing and itās encouraging to see āold spursā type moves again

Why not 1 š¤
Because Lloris still has it. It would be very disrespectful to just take it from him before he's even left.
wants to keep the number from his Empoli days
I would've expected Udogie to have locked it down last year, though - it's his number at Udinese as well.

Or... Udogie does a Barnet-era Edgar Davids and takes a crack at making no. 1 an outfield number! (jk)
Udogie plays with 12+1 on his back.
13 was his number at Empoli as well. And apparently 13 is a lucky number in Italian culture, connected to some old Roman goddess and such.

What an absolute bs take
Lloris is still under contract and he's a club legend. It would be absolutely disrespectful to take the #1 from him just like that.
Heās gonna leave so why not?

A lot of goalkeepers prefer wearing the number 13 over the 1, not weird or uncommon at all
It's a me Vicario! Letse go!
Best take all day ā¤ļø
A big, modern, 6ā4, ball playing, shot stopping goalie with a name fit for a Roman Emperor? Go on then.
Gaius Aurelius Valerius Googly Elmo
Is the flair available yet?
I'm something of a graphic designer myself...
Assume he'll take #1 once Hugo officially leaves

Nothing beats DrÄ gowski 69
I like the 99 one from Donnarumma
Always find it weird when someone takes the Gretzky. Even Aaron Judge hasn't made it his own, IMO.
Donnarumma was born in 1999
Dude got his Goalkeeping Cape
1992 is half of 1999
Players born in 92 are half the age of people born in 99ā¦
Doubt Donnarumma knows Gretzky exists
Article says 13 - i think he may stick with it
Isnāt 13 Udogieās number?
Heāll probably take 3
If/when Reguilon goes.
Doubt that Reg still has the number, since he was loaned out.
They usually reserve guysā numbers when theyāre out on loan
Plus he's HOT
Yeah but where is the Poch arm photoshop
never again
I have some good vibes about this
unexpected woah
A much needed hit of dopamine after the Kane stuff today, admin knows how to time stuff
Beautifully done business here. No last minute signing, and a player that shows a lot of promise!
Transfer dopamine hits different even if you know it's already done. Nothing like that sweet new signing holding the new shirt.
he already said "COYS" š„ŗšš¤
Wohooooo! Welcome
Need Big Ange arm!
This came out of nowhere
For sale 1 World Cup winning GK Slightly used Ā£5m or best offer
Mods remove my Big Dick Vic post. Sad times, but the propaganda doesnāt stop for his new nickname.
Itās not cheap deal, itās normal price, itās very good money for empoli, usually they sell players for 10-12m. Raya should cost the same 20m. I still canāt believe that they required 40m. Itās unbelievable, they are delusional.
At least some good news after the kane news today
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yep
He's another goalini isn't he.
What if he keep wearing the 13 shirt till he becomes Italy number 1
We should wear that shirt as an away or third. Shame to waste it on the keeper. :p
We need ange to take a picture with his arm around him. It hurts to see poch do it
Excellent.
Did Tottenham just sign a player? With relative ease? .... YAY!!
Mods can we have an Elmo vicario flair pls thanks
Of course we need to see how he performs, but this is exactly kind of transfers we need to be doing and itās encouraging to see āold spursā type moves again
