Vicario may not feel like the kind of goalkeeper that Frank usually favours but his shot-stopping ability is not to be sniffed at

Vicario has seen his status as Tottenham’s number one come under threat with the signing of Antonin Kinsky, with the Czech star proving a more consistent and dependable set of hands.

Guglielmo Vicario was the Tottenham Hotspur hero as the Italian goalkeeper produced a heroic individual display to earn his side a draw in Monaco, with the match finishing 0-0 despite a host of opportunities for the home side.

Tottenham remain without captain Cristian Romero and several key personnel for Sunday’s trip to Everton, but Thomas Frank will not use it as an excuse. After a superb start to life at Spurs, Frank has overseen one victory from the last five matches and a smattering of boos greeted full-time after a fortunate 0-0 draw at Monaco on Wednesday.

Vicario has an 82.8% save percentage, only behind rivals Arsenal and David Raya (83.3%), making him one of the best in the league. Looking even further into it, the Italian international has faced the third-most shots in the division (24), with only Matz Sels (25) and Martin Dubravka (28) facing more.
