90 min have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are rushing to complete a deal for Guglielmo Vicario as they are fearful that a couple of Serie A clubs could make late plays to sign the goalkeeper.
If some of the updates over the last 24 hours are to be believed, it is only a matter of time before Vicario is announced as Spurs‘ first summer capture (apart from the Dejan Kulusevski deal).

In fact, Fabrizio Romano even claimed on Friday that the paperwork has been completed between Tottenham and Empoli, and that the goalkeeper, who is currently in Spain, is expected to fly to London on Sunday to complete his medical and sign on the dotted line.
Spurs have one eye on late rival bids for Vicario
However, if 90 min’s latest update is to be believed, Spurs remain worried that one of Inter Milan or AC Milan could make a late move to sign the 26-year-old.
It is explained that even though the North London club have agreed a €20m (£17.2m) for Vicario, they are working to ensure that the deal is wrapped up quickly.
This is because Tottenham are allegedly aware that Inter and Milan could lose Andre Onana or Mike Maignan respectively, and could turn their gaze towards the Empoli star.
Spurs Web Opinion
The swiftness with which Tottenham have struck an agreement with Empoli for Vicario suggests that the North London club felt that it was a very real possibility that either Inter or Milan would make a move for Vicario sooner rather than later.
We have seen instances of moves falling through in the last minute before but all indications for the moment are that Spurs have this deal in the bag.
