Like many of his team-mates, Vicario has endured a torrid season and its not hard to envisage his exit regardless of whether the club stays up or not.Caprile, who is valued at 15 million by Transfermarkt, is one of Europes most promising young goalkeepers and the fact that he has experience of playing and living in England will also be another tick for any potential Premier League suitors.The former Leeds man is under contract until 2029, having only moved clubs last summer, so he will not come cheap - meaning any potential move will entirely rest on what division Tottenham are playing in next season.TOPICSGuglielmo VicarioTottenham HotspurTransfer newsJoe MewisSocial Links NavigationFor more than a decade, Joe Mewis has worked in football journalism as a reporter and editor.
