Reports: West Ham Close to Loan Deal for Tottenham’s Antonín Kinský
The move is being pursued to bolster a struggling goalkeeper group that has produced just one Premier League clean sheet.
Overview
- West Ham and Tottenham are discussing a loan until season’s end with a summer purchase option, according to Matteo Moretto and talkSPORT.
- Kinský has started only twice this season for Spurs after a £12.5m move from Slavia Prague in January 2025 and has not displaced Guglielmo Vicario.
- West Ham want competition in goal after errors from Alphonse Areola and the benching of summer signing Mads Hermansen following a poor run.
- Regular minutes could improve the 22-year-old’s chances of a Czech Republic call-up ahead of World Cup qualifiers.
- If Kinský leaves, Brandon Austin would become Vicario’s primary backup unless Spurs add another goalkeeper, with prior reports also linking Vicario to a possible summer return to Italy.
