DBasia.news – After being released at the end of last season, Michel Vorm, the 35-year-old goalkeeper has officially returned to Tottenham Hotspur. Mauricio Pochettino’s team continued to recruit Vorm to replace Hugo Lloris, who was absent due to injuries.
At the end of last season, Michel Vorm’s contract had expired. Tottenham Hotspur’s management decided not to extend the working period of the Dutch goalkeeper. They believe Hugo Lloris and Paulo Gazzaniga were enough to navigate this season.

This is an easy decision. “I already know most of the players, staff, and everyone who works here,” he stated as quoted on the club’s official website.
Michel Vorm added, “I’ve been here for five seasons. It’s like going home. Of course I’m not fit to play. we have to improve it. However, I feel healthy. “
