Spurs make move to sign Man United flop ‘keeper as Vicario set to leave
Tottenham are reportedly preparing to lose Guglielmo Vicario this summer and are eyeing up Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson as his replacement.
The former Manchester United shot-stopper has performed well during his time at Palace, including saving a penalty as he kept a clean sheet in last season’s surprise FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.

It remains to be seen how likely it is that Palace will let Henderson go in what is already expected to be a chaotic summer for the club, but the England international is seemingly in Spurs’ sights.
According to the Daily Mail’s Simon Jones, the north Londoners are exploring a number of options as they expect Vicario to leave.
The Italian shot-stopper is a target for Inter Milan and it seems they’re in pole position to secure his signature.
Who else could Tottenham sign in goal?
As well as Henderson, there’s talk of Tottenham also looking at Manchester City’s backup ‘keeper James Trafford.
That might be a more realistic option for Spurs as Trafford will surely want to play and might be more easily available as he’s not City’s first choice.
The issue with Henderson is that he’s the clear no.1 for Palace and they won’t want to lose even more players.
Marc Guehi left in January after Eberechi Eze left in the summer, and there’ll now likely be strong interest in other key players like Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
On top of that, CPFC manager Oliver Glasner has also confirmed that he’ll be leaving at the end of his contract.
