Vicario says one player is the missing piece of the Tottenham puzzle

Guglielmo Vicario believes one new Tottenham signing is the missing piece of the puzzle under Ange Postecoglou.

Solanke is back after a seven-year gap

Solanke won his first and only cap for England back in 2017 when he was just 19 years old, and the striker has now finally managed to get back into the Three Lions set-up.

While the centre-forward has found the back of the net three times since his move to Tottenham, it is his all-round play that has been particularly impressive, with the 26-year-old pressing incessantly and showing great vision and composure outside the box.

The Spurs man will be hoping that he gets a chance to impress in the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Greece and Finland.

Missing piece of the puzzle

Vicario says Solanke’s call-up to the national team is well deserved, describing it as a ‘big achievement’ for the Spurs newcomer.

The goalkeeper insists that the striker gives Tottenham a big presence upfront, which the side were missing at times last season.

When asked about Solanke’s call-up, the Italian told Yahoo Sport: “I make my congratulations to him. It’s a big achievement because England is one of the best national teams around the world. To be in the squad is a good achievement and I think he really deserves that.

“He is very intense in his pressing, very good in link-up play, at attacking the spaces and also a big presence for us inside the box.

“We have that threat that he is there inside the box, so we can use him and play the ball in there. It is a different type of player, we missed a player of this quality so we’re happy with him.”

Very proud of youngsters

Tottenham have an exciting generation of youngsters coming through, with fans having already seen some promising glimpses from many of them this season.

The likes of Mikey Moore, Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Will Lankshear have all impressed, with Vicario singling out Moore for praise and admitting that everyone at Spurs is proud of the 17-year-old.

When asked about the youngsters now breaking through, the Spurs number one said: “They did brilliant, a very good effort everyone. So, let’s keep going and we have just to push them, don’t let them sit down.

“Yeah, Mikey is a brilliant guy. A very, very good guy. His behaviour and commitment every day is top level so credit to him. He showed on the pitch he is a great footballer and he has his future by his side. He just has to now put hard work in, like he is doing every day, but we are very, very proud of him.”
