Tottenham Hotspur’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, has confirmed that the club will not be seeking a new goalkeeper in the upcoming January transfer window. Despite the injury to their current first-choice goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, who is expected to be sidelined for several months, Postecoglou has expressed confidence in Fraser Forster to step up in his absence.
Trust in Fraser Forster
Postecoglou stated, “We will NOT sign a new goalkeeper in January. We trust Fraser Forster.” This decision underscores the manager’s faith in Forster’s abilities to handle the responsibilities between the posts during Vicario’s recovery period.
Vicario’s Injury
Guglielmo Vicario, who has been a key player for Tottenham, will be unavailable for an extended period due to his injury. However, Postecoglou has made it clear that this setback will not alter the club’s transfer plans, maintaining their current squad strategy.
Recent Context

Previously, he has emphasised the importance of patience and has taken responsibility for the team’s inconsistent performances. His approach has consistently been one of stability and trust in the current squad, as evidenced by his earlier indication that no further signings were planned for Tottenham.
