Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to save £50 million this summer by promoting Antonin Kinsky to first-choice goalkeeper rather than pursuing a big-money signing.Antonin Kinsky‘s Tottenham Hotspur career over the last few months has been one for the scriptwriters, with the Czech international enjoying a remarkable comeback story.From being axed after 15 minutes of madness in the Champions League round of 16 tie against Atletico Madrid to becoming the club’s first-choice goalkeeper during the Premier League run-in and proving vital, Kinsky has shown tremendous character and resilience.The Czech’s determination has now earned him a new contract at Tottenham that includes a significant pay rise reflecting his importance to the club.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramTottenham set to save £50m with Antonin Kinsky decisionWith Kinsky‘s rise, Tottenham are set to save at least £50m this summer transfer window as they continue to reshape their squad.Before the opening of the summer transfer window and during the winter window, Spurs were linked with a number of goalkeepers after reports suggested they were keen to strengthen that area of the squad. James Trafford of Manchester City was one player greatly admired by the Lilywhites during the winter window, but a transfer did not materialise.Bart Verbruggen then emerged as another goalkeeper linked with Spurs following Roberto De Zerbi‘s appointment, with the new Tottenham boss reportedly keen on a reunion with both Jan Paul van Hecke and the Brighton goalkeeper. However, with Kinsky now established as the first choice, Spurs could save a significant sum that would otherwise have been spent on a marquee goalkeeper signing and instead invest it elsewhere in the squad.Spurs could benefit further from Antonin Kinsky’s emergenceNot only has the Czechia goalkeeper potentially saved Tottenham a substantial amount of money, but his rise could also help the club generate further funds.That is because Guglielmo Vicario, who has now fallen down the pecking order, continues to attract transfer interest. It is understood that Spurs are looking to sell Vicario this summer, with several clubs in Italy monitoring his situation.A sale of the former Empoli goalkeeper could see Tottenham receive a fee in the region of £15m, which would further boost their transfer coffers.READ MORE: Watch Tottenham star Jan Paul van Hecke score an impressive World Cup headerThe post Tottenham set to save £50m by promoting from within despite Brighton and Man City links appeared first on Spurs Web.
