Tottenham Hotspur has completed the signing of 21-year-old Czech goalkeeper Antonín Kinský from Slavia Prague. The deal, worth over £10 million, includes a long-term contract running until 2031, subject to work permit approval and international clearance.
The move addresses Tottenham’s ongoing challenges in the goalkeeping department. Their first-choice keeper, Guglielmo Vicario, has been sidelined since November due to ankle surgery. Backup goalkeeper Fraser Forster also missed a recent match against Newcastle United due to illness, forcing third-choice Brandon Austin to make his senior debut in a 2-1 defeat.
Kinský has been in impressive form this season, achieving 12 clean sheets in 19 games for Slavia Prague. As a youth international for the Czech Republic, his performances have marked him as a promising talent. His arrival is expected to provide defensive stability for Tottenham, who are currently 12th in the Premier League standings, significantly trailing league leaders Liverpool.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou emphasized the importance of strengthening the squad amid a busy fixture schedule and ongoing injury concerns. The acquisition of Kinský is seen as a strategic move to solidify the team’s defensive options during this challenging period.
