Guglielmo Vicario is set to swap north London for Turin, with Tottenham reportedly accepting a loan offer from Juventus for the Italian goalkeeper, according to BBC News.

The proposed deal is understood to include an option to make the move permanent, suggesting Juventus see the shot-stopper as more than just a stop-gap solution between the posts.

Vicario has been a regular presence for Spurs since arriving from Empoli, but the report indicates the club are now willing to let him leave as the transfer window edges closer to its conclusion.

Details on the length of the loan, any accompanying fee, or the exact terms of the buy option have not been specified. It remains to be seen how this development affects Tottenham's goalkeeping options for the upcoming season, particularly given Vicario's established role as a first-choice option under Thomas Frank.

Further confirmation from either club is awaited before the switch can be considered finalised, but BBC News' report suggests talks between the two parties have progressed significantly.
