Tottenham Hotspur is set to bolster its squad with the signing of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague for £12.5 million. The 21-year-old Czech Republic U21 international is expected to arrive in London today for a medical examination, following a verbal agreement between all parties involved.
This strategic move comes as Spurs face significant challenges in goalkeeping, with first-choice Guglielmo Vicario sidelined due to a serious ankle injury. Fraser Forster, currently filling in, has struggled with form, prompting the urgent need for a reliable replacement. Kinsky has demonstrated his potential this season, recording 12 clean sheets in 19 league appearances for Slavia Prague.
Kinsky’s signing marks Tottenham’s first transfer of the January window, reflecting the club’s commitment to strengthening its squad amid an inconsistent start to the Premier League season. Manager Ange Postecoglou is under pressure as Spurs currently sit 11th in the league, seven points off fifth place.
The formalities of Kinsky’s transfer are expected to be completed shortly after his medical, solidifying his position as a key player for Tottenham moving forward.
