I’m new Tottenham star nicknamed after a Spiderman villain… I hope my team-mates won’t make me angry
NEW Tottenham star Guglielmo Vicario is ready to Marvel fans under Ange Postecoglou.
And he’s even got the Spiderman villain nickname to prove it.
The Italian stopper is known for his fiery temper back home.
And Vicario has managed to earn himself the enviable nickname “Venom” – just like Spiderman’s arch-nemesis from the Marvel comics.
Vicario completed a £16.3million move to Spurs last month.
And following his transfer, he has now lifted the lid on the origins of his brilliant alias.
Tottenham ace Vicario said: “It’s by two guys from broadcaster DAZN in Italy.
“They told me, ‘When you play sometimes you get angry, you feel angry, so you feel like Venom’.
“Also Venom starts with V, Vicario starts with V.”
Vicario’s first game for Spurs did not go to plan as he lined up in a 3-2 defeat against West Ham.

The Italian shipped two goals before being subbed off at half-time.
But he has vowed to not let his defenders off the hook in the Premier League.
Vicario added: “I shout, maybe. My facial expression can change in some critical moments of the game.
“I hope to do this not many times because I think we have a big squad, so I trust in my lads.”
GUGLIELMO VICARIO spoke at a Spurs training session with beneficiaries from Telethon – one of Western Australia’s largest charities – raising funds to deliver programmes for sick, vulnerable, and disadvantaged children.
