Tottenham complete first signing of January transfer window | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced the arrival of Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky in a deal thought to be worth around £10m.

The former Slavia Prague shot-stopper was only linked with a move to Spurs 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 before the deal was revealed on Sunday morning by the club's official website.

"We are delighted to announce the signing of Antonin Kinsky from SK Slavia Prague, subject to international clearance and work permit," a club statement read. "The 21-year-old goalkeeper has agreed a deal that will run until 2031 and will wear the number 31 shirt."

No transfer fee was officially disclosed, but Fabrizio Romano claimed that the figure was "in excess of £10m".

Tottenham are desperately short of goalkeeping options and Kinsky could be thrust between the posts for his debut as soon as the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool on Wednesday - if all the legal documentation surrounding the deal has been processed by then.

After illness to Fraser Forster forced him on to the sidelines with long-term absentee Guglielmo Vicario, Ange Postecoglou was forced to hand Tottenham's third-choice goalkeeper Brandon Austin his first-team debut on Saturday for the visit of Newcastle United. While he didn't embarrass himself, the scarcely spotted shot-stopper conceded twice in a 2-1 defeat which extended Tottenham's wretched home form.
