‘Both absolutely brilliant’… Guglielmo Vicario names the two Tottenham players who have amazed him so far | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has revealed Rodrigo Bentancur and Destiny Udogie have seriously impressed him.

The Lilywites find themselves battling for a spot in next season’s Champions League and there have been some standout performers under Ange Postecoglou.

And it seems two players, in particular, have caught the eye of Guglielmo Vicario who has also made a huge impression at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Vicario impressed by Spurs duo

The 27-year-old landed at Hotspur Way over the summer and was chucked straight into the starting XI as Hugo Lloris’ long-term replacement.

As Postecoglou’s side look to battle it out with Aston Villa and Manchester United for a spot in the top four, the Italian has admitted Destiny Udogie and Rodrigo Bentancur have impressed him massively.

Speaking on the club’s X account, Vicario said: ‘To go over the pressure of the opponents with some skill, to do body movements and skill with their feet, they are absolutely brilliant, both. So for me, from the back, it is a pleasure when they are doing this kind of stuff because I’m comfortable and I know that we can go to score a goal.’

Bentancur still returning to fitness

It has been a difficult year for the Uruguayan midfielder who suffered a long-term ACL injury last season against Leicester City.

And having finally made his return to the starting XI, his comeback was brought crashing to a halt when Matty Cash inflicted a fresh ankle injury on him.

The midfielder has spoken about his struggles to return to his absolute best after these injury issues.

Bentancur was only able to start from the bench in the weekend’s defeat to Wolves as Yves Bissouma was given the nod in his return to the starting XI after two months out.

But what is apparent is those at the club still have a lot of faith in the 26-year-old midfielder who will take time to find his feet again after such significant injuries.
