Vicario becomes Tottenham’s second signing of the transfer window.
Dejan Kulusevski was the first one to turn his loan deal into a permanent move from Juventus.
Vicario is regarded as a “commanding goalkeeper” with the ability to play out from the back.
He moved to Venezia in August 2015, making 89 appearances in all competitions for the Italian side.
The Italian player kept 28 clean sheets and, in 2016/17, helped the club earn promotion to Serie B, while also claiming the Coppa Italia Lega Pro.
