Tottenham have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague, subject to international clearance and work permit. The shot-stopper becomes Ange Postecoglou's first signing of the January transfer window in a deal worth £12.5million.

Making a name for himself in the Czech Republic, the 21-year-old has signed a long-term contract at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that runs until the summer of 2031. Kinsky will wear the No.31 shirt at Tottenham.

The arrival of Kinsky boosts Postecoglou's options in the goalkeeping department as Guglielmo Vicario is not expected to return from injury until the end of February. Fraser Forster has replaced the Italian between the sticks over the past six weeks, with academy graduate Brandon Austin playing in Forster's absence in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United.

Kinsky's debut could possibly come next week with a Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool and an FA Cup encounter away at Tamworth on the agenda. The new signing will now be expected to challenge Vicario for the No.1 spot in the years ahead.

Slavia Prague's first-choice goalkeeper this season, the youngster played for the Czech team in the Europa League and also their Champions League qualifying matches. Kinsky kept 12 clean sheets from his 19 league matches for Slavia this campaign.

Spurs are believe to have looked at Wolves stopper Sam Johnstone and Bayern goalkeeper Daniel Peretz among others before deciding on Kinsky as their keeper of choice.
