Tottenham Hotspur have bolstered their squad with the signing of 21-year-old Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague in a deal valued at €12.5 million (£10.8 million). The Czech goalkeeper has committed to the North London club until 2031, with the transfer pending international clearance and a work permit.
Kinsky’s arrival comes at a critical time for Spurs, who have been grappling with a goalkeeper crisis. First-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario has been sidelined since fracturing his ankle during Tottenham’s commanding 4-0 victory over Manchester City on November 24. With Fraser Forster stepping in as deputy, the veteran missed Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle due to illness, forcing 25-year-old Brandon Austin to make his Premier League debut.

Kinsky has built an impressive resume since joining Slavia Prague from Dukla Prague in 2021. Initially spending time on loan, he established himself as a reliable presence between the posts. This season, the Czech Republic Under-21 international has made 29 appearances for Slavia, achieving an impressive 14 clean sheets.
Fans and analysts are optimistic about Kinsky’s potential, viewing him as a long-term solution for Spurs. His performance at Slavia has demonstrated his shot-stopping prowess, composure under pressure, and leadership in defense.
Tottenham’s investment in young talent like Kinsky reflects the club’s commitment to building a sustainable future, and his debut could come sooner than expected as Spurs battle to regain momentum in the Premier League.
