Ben Foster says Spurs player has outshone Liverpool star this season

Ben Foster believes that one Tottenham Hotspur player has actually managed to outshine a Liverpool star who is the best in the world in his position this season.

Many Spurs fans must have been worried when it appeared that Guglielmo Vicario was coming in as Hugo Lloris’ replacement in the ♌summer.

Tottenham had been tracking David Raya. And o💫f course, Lloris left huge gloves to fill having been an amazing servant for the club.

In fact, , Ben Foster believes that Vicario has been the best in the Premier League so far this season, impressing him even more than Alisson.

“I’ve gone for Vicario, £17 million they brought him for from Empoli. I do believe that Ali✅sson is the best goalkeeper in the world, I do. It’s as simple as that. He’s the best goalkeeper 🐈in the world,” he said.

“But for this season, the goalie I saw make s🐎ome unbelieva🍸ble saves, the impact.

“If you were a goalie coach at Tottenham and you were responsible for bringing in that goalkeeper in, h🌱onestly, you could do what you want for years. Because you could live off that guy. The fact that you can bring somebody in for £17 million, for a big club, a top club like Spurs, for as little money as that, and h♔im hit the ground running is phenomenal.”

Spurs star sits top of the pile

Certainly, the statistics suggest that Vicario has been the best goalkeeper in the Pr🔯emier League so far this season when it comes to the most obvious skill – keeping the ball out of the back of the net.

No goalkeeper in the top-flight has performed better against their expected goals conceded than Vicario✃, according to . Alisson meanwhile, is down in seventh.

Vicario also appears to be so important to the way Tottenham want to play. He is so fast off the line, and that allows the Spurs defence to press right up because they know that their goalkeeper has a very good chance of bailing them out if it isꦏ required.

It was a masterstroke to bring him to North London. Tottenham have certainly put one of the♕ir rivals to shame with ✤the success of their goalkeeper move in the summer.
