The Tottenham Hotspur has officially announced the arrival of the Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky in an agreement that is believed to be a value of around 10 million, and an effect on this has also been revealed to this in No. 1 Guglielmo Vicario existing.
The former Slavia Prague shot-stopper was only linked with a move to north London over the weekend after reports claimed that the 21-year-old had flown to London for a medical on Saturday.
Kinsky put pen to paper and the deal was officially shown to the Tottenham official on Sunday morning.
“We are extremely happy to announce the signing of Antonin Kinsky from SK Slavia Prague, subject to foreign authorization and painting permit,” said one club. “The 21-year-old goalkeeper has agreed a deal that runs until 2031 and will wear the number 31 shirt. “
No move-in payment has been officially revealed, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the figure is in excess of “£10 million”.
Spurs are running out of defensive options, with a number of centre-backs on the sidelines, while first-choice goalkeeper Vicario is likely to be sidelined until March with the fractured foot he suffered in November’s win at Manchester City.
Vicario’s replacement Fraser Forster also missed Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle through illness, with Brandon Austin stepping in and performing well against the Magpies.
It is reported that Kinsky could be retained in its beginnings as soon as the semifinal of the Cábao Cup against Liverpool on Wednesday, if all the legal documents surrounding the agreement have been processed until then.
However, it’s more likely that Austin, who looked more comfortable in possession than Forster has since stepping in for Vicario, gets the nod for Wednesday night’s first-leg clash.
Although Kinsky has a high rating, he is expected to update Vicario in the future, but it will be a strong festival for the Italian international.
The first choice goalkeeper of Slavia Prague this season, the young man has appeared for the Czech appearance in the Europa League as in the classification matches of the Champions League. Kinsky has maintained an impressive 12 blank sheets in his 19 League games for Slavia this campaign.
Speaking about the move, Kinsky said: “Really happy to be here, it’s been amazing to sign the contract. Tottenham is a big name in Europe and the world, and especially in the Czech Republic and it’s a big honour.
“I spoke with the coaches and the sporting director and I had the impression that it will be the right choice. It’s a new experience, but I’m happy to take the next step.
“The objective of each and every one of the players is to be in the field and I will try to boost education to try to get the minutes. “
Tottenham would have tried the Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, and Bayern Daniel Peretz goalkeeper, among others, before deciding Kinsky as goalkeeper.
As reported, Tottenham is among a series of competitors to sign Randal Kolo Muani of Paris Saint-Germain in the January Movement Window.
The forward swapped Eintracht Frankfurt for PSG in September 2023 in a deal worth up to €90m (€74.7m, $92.6m) but the move has not gone to plan so far.
Kolo Muani flattered himself in the 2023/24 campaign after scoring just nine goals and claiming six assists and his fortunes have advanced this season.
The 26-year-old has scored two goals and notched one assist in 14 appearances, and just two of those have come as a starter. Reports suggest the France international wants a January exit and Tottenham are among his suitors.
Meanwhile, Tottenham agent Omar Alderete has hinted that his player will leave Getafe in the coming months, however the festival for his signature could be fierce, with spurs in the mix.
