New deal for Kinsky
We are delighted to announce that Antonin Kinsky has signed a new contract with the Club.
Antonin said: "I'm so happy and I can feel the trust from the Club. When I joined 18 months ago, my expectations were to fight for my place in the team and to wear this shirt every week.
"It's been a real journey to get here and a nice story already, and I'm looking forward to what lies ahead over the next months and years.
"Everyone around the Club feels that we can have a successful season and I want to contribute to that. We want to give the fans what they want and what this Club deserves."
Sporting Director, Johan Lange, said: "From the moment we identified Toni as a target, we were convinced he had the qualities, character and mentality to become an important player for this Club.
"We have been delighted with the way he has adapted over the past 18 months, both on and off the pitch, and this new contract reflects our confidence in his continued development.
"Toni has an outstanding work ethic, a strong desire to improve and the attributes required to perform at the highest level.
"Securing his long-term future is an important step for us and we are excited to see him fulfil the potential we believe he possesses."
Head Coach, Roberto De Zerbi, said: "Toni was outstanding over the final seven games of the season and a key part of what we achieved in that period.
"I am delighted he has committed his future to the Club. He has earned this new contract, not only with his performances but also his professionalism and desire to improve.
"We have huge belief in what Toni can become. He is still young, has enormous potential and I know that Spurs is the perfect place for him to continue to develop into one of the best goalkeepers in Europe."
Signed from his hometown club, Slavia Prague, in January, 2025, Toni’s journey at Spurs has already encompassed so much.
Impressive on his debut as he kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup just days after his arrival, he made his Premier League debut in the cauldron of the north London derby as he featured several times in his early days with us, going on to play 10 games in all competitions during the second half of the 2024/25 season.
Last term provided challenges for the former Czech Republic Under-21 international, however his ability, character and resilience shone through in the end.
The 23-year-old returned to Premier League duties in Roberto De Zerbi’s first game in charge away to Sunderland in April following Guglielmo Vicario’s hernia surgery, playing every minute under our Head Coach and pulling off a string of inspiring saves in our final seven games of the season to help maintain the Club’s top-flight status.
Key stops against Wolves, Leeds and Everton, some of which earned him nominations for the Premier League’s Save of the Month and Save of the Season awards, will live long in the memory.
His clean sheet in our crucial final-day 1-0 win at home to Everton was his 20th appearance in our colours to date.
