The Premier League has retracted a social media post that seemed to deride Tottenham’s goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Tottenham filed a formal complaint on Monday after their 2-1 loss to Fulham at Craven Cottage, calling the content unprofessional and inappropriate.

Speculation Surrounds Vicario’s Future
This season may be Vicario’s last at Tottenham, as reports indicate that the club is open to his sale this summer.
The goalkeeper has expressed interest in returning to Italy, with multiple Serie A teams reportedly interested.
Inter Milan has been identified as a potential destination for him, and Juventus is also interested, with claims of discussions occurring with his representatives.
Tough Times Ahead for Tottenham
The Premier League’s social media misstep occurs during a challenging period for the club.
The loss to Fulham extended Tottenham’s winless streak in the league to 10 matches, leaving them in 16th place.
With only 10 matches to go, they are just four points above the relegation zone.
The dire circumstances have led to reports of a potential 50% wage reduction for players if the team is relegated, aimed at maintaining the club’s financial health.
