Tottenham Sign Goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky Amid Injury Crisis

Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague on a contract running until 2031. The transfer remains subject to work permit and international clearance.

Reinforcements in Goal

The 21-year-old Czech goalkeeper joins Spurs at a critical time, bolstering Ange Postecoglou’s options between the posts. Tottenham’s first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has been sidelined since November after undergoing surgery for a broken ankle, leaving the team short-handed in this vital position.

Kinsky’s arrival offers much-needed depth, especially after Fraser Forster, the club’s second-choice keeper, missed the recent match against Newcastle United due to illness. In his absence, Brandon Austin made his debut in Spurs’ 2-1 defeat at home.

A Squad Struggling with Injuries

Postecoglou has faced an uphill battle managing a squad decimated by injuries and illness. Ahead of the Newcastle match, the manager revealed that only 11 fit players were available for selection as of Thursday. Despite the circumstances, Spurs were unable to avoid another disappointing result, leaving them in 12th place in the Premier League standings with 24 points from 20 matches.

Tottenham’s Premier League Struggles

Tottenham’s season continues to lack consistency. They now trail league leaders Liverpool by 21 points and have struggled to gain momentum amidst a busy schedule and injury setbacks.

Kinsky’s signing comes as part of the club’s efforts to stabilize the squad and improve results moving forward. Spurs fans will hope that the new addition can make an immediate impact once all the formalities are completed.
