The next Petr Cech? Who is new Spurs keeper Kinsky?

Is Tottenham's goalkeeping crisis over? After first-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario got injured in the autumn, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou relied on Fraser Forster or Brandon Austin.

It was far from an ideal situation but, over the last days, Tottenham might have found a solution by signing 21-year-old Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague.

Kinsky played in the Czech second division as recently as May 2023 but, this season, has had a meteoric rise to become one of the best goalkeepers in central Europe, bringing comparisons with legendary Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.

However, there is a different decisive figure behind Kinsky's upbringing: his father, who approved a move to Spurs.
