Enze Postecoglou had no choice. As he predicted, the transfer market cannot flow.

European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on his personal SNS on the 4th (Korea time) that `Tottenham is preparing to recruit Slavia Prague's main goalkeeper Antonin Kinski, and the player has arrived in London for a medical test.'

Romano has reached an oral agreement between the 'Kinski's side and all club officials, and must undergo a medical examination after the match against Newcastle. Tottenham will pay £10 million (about 18 billion won) to sign Kinski and have agreed to a long-term contract. After the match against Newcastle, they will also sign all official documents between the clubs. It's a complete transfer.




Goalkeeper Kinski, born in 2003, is a promising resource from the Czech Republic and wore the prestigious Slavia Prague jersey in 2021. Kinski, who has grown through loan since then, has begun to defend Prague's goal in earnest since this season and has established himself as a solid starting player. He showed excellent defense with 12 clean sheets in 19 league games this season, and is said to be good at his feet.

Initially, it was widely expected that the goalkeeper was not a priority for Tottenham's recruitment. Coach Postecoglou dismissed the possibility of recruiting a goalkeeper even when Guglielmo Vicario is out due to a long-term injury. Tottenham had surgery for Vicario's fractured right ankle after the game against Manchester City in November, and months of absence were inevitable. Postecoglou said despite the departure of the main goalkeeper, "We have four goalkeepers in our first-team squad. I've known him for a long time and I'm always ready to play as the leader of the team", dismissing rumors of recruitment.

However, Postecoglou and Tottenham could not let go. He began to carefully consider recruiting goalkeepers. British media reported that Tottenham is considering signing Anthony Paterson. Besides, Burnley's James Trafford and Yahina Fofana are also candidates. Tottenham's choice was Kinski.




Meanwhile, Tottenham will miss even Frazier Foster's game against Newcastle due to the recent internal disease problem ahead of the signing of Kinski. Brandon Austin, the three-option goalkeeper, has announced his entry as a starter.

Attention is also focusing on whether Kinski's recruitment will be a big gift in the winter transfer market that will strengthen Tottenham's goal.
