Kinsky Signs New Tottenham Deal As Fernandes Transfer Emerges

Tottenham have secured goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky on a new contract while also moving for West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes in a deal reportedly worth 85m. The agreement keeps Kinsky at Spurs after a season where the 23-year-old finished as first choice under Roberto De Zerbi and helped the club stay in the Premier League on the final day.

The London club have also reshaped the wider squad. Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka have arrived on free transfers, while Netherlands defender Jan Paul van Hecke joined from Brighton for 52m. Reports on Tuesday stated Spurs have beaten Manchester United to Fernandes, underlining a clear plan to refresh key positions.

Fernandes is coming off a busy campaign for West Ham, playing 38 matches in all competitions. The midfielder scored four goals, supplied four assists and created 42 chances. Fernandes contested 384 duels and won 214 of them, while his 103 Premier League tackles were bettered by only four players across the division.

Kinsky’s route to this new deal has not been straightforward. The goalkeeper joined Spurs in January 2025 and initially struggled to settle. Confidence appeared shattered after a poor Champions League performance against Atletico Madrid, where several errors led Igor Tudor to substitute Kinsky after only 17 minutes.

De Zerbi replaced Tudor and immediately backed Kinsky, installing the Czech goalkeeper as first choice last season. Performances improved steadily, highlighted by a vital save against Leeds United that secured a point. Kinsky then denied Everton an equaliser in the final Premier League match, as Spurs avoided relegation on a dramatic final day.

Kinsky’s renewal and the planned signing of Fernandes show Tottenham are trying to balance stability with change after a difficult league campaign. The club keep a trusted goalkeeper who finished the season strongly, while targeting extra quality in defence and midfield before the next Premier League schedule begins.
