Tottenham have completed the signing of Empoli goalkeeper Giglielmo Vicario.

Vicario, 26, moves to Tottenham on a five-year contract for a fee rising to £20m.

“Yes, I'm excited," he told SPURSPLAY. “It's a dream for me to be here, one of the biggest teams in England and in the Premier League. I'd like to start quickly, to join my team-mates because, for me, it's a big pleasure to be here.

“I didn't believe this opportunity. I told my agent it's my first choice, I want to go to the Premier League and a big club like Spurs. For me, it's so exciting.

“I want to learn a lot of things because the culture of football in Italy is so different. I need to adapt quickly to my team-mates, to the style of play, so many differences between Italian football (and the Premier League). The fans are amazing as well, the buzz when you play well. I love this mentality."

Vicario revealed talks with Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou ahead of the move.

“I spoke with him, and he told me the keeper is so important with his attacking mentality," said the Italian. “He wants to dominate the game. I love this mentality. It will be a big chance for me."
