19-year-old goalkeeper set to debut for Tottenham Hotspur in UEFA Europa League

Due to Guglielmo Vicario's injury, Luca Gunter may make his Tottenham first-team debut during their UEFA Europa League matchup with Roma. After it was discovered that he completed 60 minutes during the victory against Manchester City suffering from a fractured ankle, the Italian, who had been in excellent form in the first 12 Premier League games, had to have surgery.

Fraser Forster serves as the Lilywhites' backup goalie, but according to a report on X, youthful Gunter was also seen practicing with the first squad before the match. Given that the veteran has to stay healthy for Premier League play, Gunter may be given the start. The goalkeeping team that practiced before the game later today also included Brandon Austin as well as Alfie Whiteman.

The Tottenham Hotspur under-21 squad, who captured the Premier League 2 championship the previous season, had a number of players, including the 19-year-old. He led the under-17 as well as under-18 sides to winning the Premier League cup double the previous season. When given an opportunity, Forster hasn't done anything to solidify his standing at number two, while Austin and Whiteman, who are ranked 25 and 26, respectively, are unproven.

In recent years, Liverpool has demonstrated the value of giving a rookie goalkeeper a chance, as seen by Caoimhin Kelleher's success when premier goalkeeper Alisson Becker was out. By giving Gunter an opportunity to make an impression on the continental scene, Postecoglou may attempt to duplicate the Reds' success.

Leon Goretzka linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur

Leon Goretzka has been featured regularly for Bayern Munich lately but is anticipated to slide back down in the hierarchy when the injured Aleksandar Pavlovic as well as Joao Palhinha return. The German international Leon Goretzka is rumored to be interested in joining the North London team.

Despite Rodrigo Bentancur's suspension, Ange Postecoglou has a number of capable midfield alternatives at his disposal, and his rotations were excellent in their 4-0 thumping against Manchester City. However, Postecoglou could view Goretzka as the sort of January acquisition he needs given that he has established himself as a Bayern champion and was going to bring that mindset to a consistently underperforming squad.
