Tottenham’s reported interest in Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar could make clean-sheet and under-2.5-goals markets more attractive for punters; if signed, Svilar’s Serie A form (11 clean sheets in 26) suggests bettors might back Spurs defensive bets and expect Guglielmo Vicario’s starting odds to be contested. Contract running to 2030 means a January move may be costly, so a summer transfer is likelier to shift early-season betting lines.
Tottenham in the race for Roma keeper Mile Svilar
Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as contenders to sign AS Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar, with competition reported from other top clubs. Spurs would likely face a significant fee to secure the 26-year-old, whose contract at Roma runs until 2030.
Svilar’s Serie A campaign: numbers that matter
Svilar has produced a strong campaign in Italy: 26 appearances, 11 clean sheets and 17 goals conceded across competitions. His pass success sits around the mid-70s percentage, showing he can participate in build-up play rather than simply shot-stopping.
Shot-stopping and distribution
Svilar combines quick reflexes with assured handling, regularly producing saves that change the course of games. His passing can help a team that wants the goalkeeper to play out from the back, offering tactical flexibility for a coach who prefers ball-playing keepers.
Aerial presence and physical profile
At 1.89m, Svilar is strong in the air and presents a commanding presence on set pieces and crosses. That physical profile is appealing, although questions remain about adapting to the Premier League’s pace and intensity.
Transfer feasibility and timing
With a long-term contract at Roma, a low-cost January move appears unlikely. Spurs may need to plan for a summer approach when negotiations and valuations are more feasible. Expect competition to drive the price and Spurs to weigh short-term need against long-term planning.
How Svilar could fit into Tottenham’s squad
Svilar would add depth and a serious challenge for the first-team goalkeeper spot, potentially pushing Guglielmo Vicario for minutes. The signing would look like an investment in the club’s defensive future, but integration time would be essential for him to acclimatize to England.
Betting implications and what punters should watch
If Tottenham sign Svilar, expect markets tied to Spurs’ defensive solidity to react: clean-sheet probabilities, under-2.5-goals lines and goalkeeper competition markets (starting XI odds) could move. Because a January switch seems expensive, most market shifts are likelier if a summer transfer is completed, when bookmakers will adjust season-long lines accordingly.
