'I am convinced': Slavia Prague manager makes a 'very brave' prediction about Tottenham ace Antonin Kinsky now

Today at 11:15 AM

Antonin Kinsky has been one of Tottenham Hotspur’s few bright sparks since signing for them from Slavia Prague this month.

Ange Postecoglou has been impressed with Kinsky, who fits his ideal profile as a ball-playing goalkeeper.

The 21-year-old has joined a Tottenham side that find themselves in crisis, placed 15th in the Premier League table.

The Czech Republic shotstopper will be hoping that sooner rather than later, Spurs can escape the rut they find themselves in.

Kinsky is rated highly by Tottenham, who Johan Lange began scouting during his time at Aston Villa and barring in the North London Derby, the youngster has looked the part in all his other starts.

Replacing a goalkeeper of Guglielmo Vicario’s standard, Antonin Kinsky has certainly done an admirable job.

Antonin Kinsky told he has the quality to become better than Petr Cech

It will be interesting to see which goalkeeper Ange Postecoglou opts for in between the sticks once Vicario comes back to full fitness.

Kinsky has been brought in to challenge Vicario for a starting berth, with the Tottenham ace even impressing in his side’s 3-2 loss against Everton.

Slavia Prague boss Jindřich Trpišovský has now expressed his pride about witnessing the Lilywhites goalkeeper on the highest level.

Trpišovský told Dnes: "I myself was very happy, what kind of story Tonda [Kinsky] is writing. I saw him for the first time on the pitch of Admira in Prague.”

"I was behind the goal when he was winning the cup for Dukla. He was 17. Now I turn on the TV and the same Tonda is playing against Liverpool. I'll admit I've rarely had such a feeling in front of the TV.”

The 48-year-old went on to predict that Kinsky has all the talent in the world to become a better goalkeeper than Petr Cech, who is widely consider the greatest Czech shotstopper in their history.

"Now I will be very brave, but I am convinced that Tonda has the quality to one day become the best goalkeeper in Czech history."

Kinsky has earned praise for his confidence and quality and there is no denying that he could go right to the top. But the former Chelsea number one is a legend of the game.

Antonin Kinsky’s dream to join Real Madrid hinted

Recently, it was claimed that Kinsky eyes a move to Real Madrid by his former teammate Viktor Budinsky.

Budinsky stated that the gifted goalkeeper is already learning Spanish in preparation of a dream transfer.

Jindřich Trpišovský was asked whether Kinsky wishes to head to Real Madrid.

While Trpišovský did not say yes, he hinted at that being the case by claiming that he is aware of his former colleague’s dream but cannot disclose it.

"I know his dream but I can't reveal it. Anyway, in a year and a half in our league, he made such a name for himself that Tottenham bought him, which says it all.”

“It was a pleasure to work with him. From the first moment I arrived, I've been interested in the limits of how far we can go.”

For the time being, Kinsky will be dreaming that Tottenham beat Hoffenheim in the Europa League and Leicester City in the Premier League.

Even if the Spurs star follows in Luka Modric and Gareth Bale’s footsteps, such a move could only happen a number of years down the line.
