Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu as a potential replacement for Guglielmo Vicario.
This is according to Fusball Europa. The German outlet reports that Tottenham are eyeing the 23-year-old.
They report that Atubolu is on the shortlist at Tottenham as they plan for the possible departure of Vicario this summer. Reports have linked the Italian goalkeeper to a return to Italy for months.
Sport Witness has covered this extensively. Latest report, yesterday, That said, Juventus are now in top position to sign him this summer. Should he depart, Tottenham will need to change their number one.
Why are Tottenham considering Noah Atubolu?
Johan Lang and Frederik Leith are working on alternatives and Atublolu is one of them. According to Futbol Europa, Spurs are already considering a summer transfer.
The 23-year-old has made 'extraordinary progress' at Freiburg in recent years. He is a product of their youth system and reached the first team in 2021.
He has made 107 appearances since then, keeping a total of 36 clean sheets and Germany have called up him without using him in the past.
Freiburg, for its part, does not want to let its 'star player' go. The German side have placed a minimum demand of €30m for the goalkeeper. But his current deal expires in 2027. If they can't agree an extension, a sale this summer will be 'inevitable'.
Why Spurs can't have it all their own way
They know that there is more than one lover. Interestingly, Futsal Europa also threw Inter Milan into the mix. According to him, the Italian side are being regularly updated by the player's representatives.
It could create a bizarre tussle at the Nerazzurri who have long been linked with a move for Vicario. In fact, Sport Witness covered a report on the 23rdthird January How they put Chivu at the top of the list instead of Emiliano Martínez.
For now, Atubolu is focused on his performance. He wants to finish the season with Freiburg and potentially play at the World Cup.
"I'm 23 and still have a lot ahead of me, but I still know what I'm looking for and hope to be there." He said.
"If that doesn't happen, my career will continue and nothing worse will happen."
