Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky predicted to have a great future in the game amid LOSC Lille links
Over the past few weeks, Tottenham Hotspur have experienced more departures than arrivals, with club captain Son Heung-min moving to MLS club Los Angeles FC, while several young guns and academy talents have secured loan moves for the 2025/26 campaign.
Among the Spurs players linked with an exit is Antonin Kinsky. LOSC Lille have been keeping tabs on the Czech Republic goalkeeper as they look to replace their recently lost No.1 Lucas Chevalier to Paris Saint-Germain. This prompted the Ligue 1 club to earmark the Tottenham man as a potential replacement.
Antonin Kinsky was initially signed from Slavia Prague during the 2025 January transfer window as cover for the injured Guglielmo Vicario. He impressed on his debut against Liverpool with a clean sheet in the 1-0 win in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final. After that game, though, his inexperience started appearing in his game, but former boss Ange Postecoglou had no option but to stick with him goal until Vicario returned from injury in February.
Thomas Frank backs Antonin Kinsky to have a great career
The 22-year-old finished his first season in north London with 10 appearances to his name and is set to start the 2025/26 campaign as a back-up to Vicario.
Ahead of the UEFA Super Cup clash against Paris Saint-Germain, Thomas Frank moved to shut down speculation surrounding Kinsky’s future at the club. The Dane has stated that he is “very pleased” with Kinsky and predicts to have a “great future” in the game.
“He’s [Kinsky] a very good goalkeeper, very pleased with him,” Frank told Football London.
“We are privileged to have three good goalkeepers in Vicario, Antonin and Brandon. There was good competition last year. Clearly, we need good keepers in the squad. Antonin, in my opinion, has a great future ahead of him and he is clearly a Tottenham player this season.”
Kinsky going nowhere this summer
Frank’s words on Kinsky are clear and strong. He expects the 22-year-old to have a bright future in the game, preferably with the Lilywhites, whilst shutting down rumours of a move to Lille this summer. This shows the faith he has in the Czech Republic glovesman and wants him to challenge Vicario for the No.1 spot in the upcoming season.
As Vicario’s tenure at Spurs has been topsy-turvy, there will be chances for Kinsky to perform in cup competitions and show Frank that he is ready to become the club’s No.1. A healthy competition between Vicario and Kinsky would only bode well for Tottenham- both now and in the future.
