Born on March 13, 2003, in Prague, Czech Republic, regarded as an emerging talent in European football. The 1.90m goalkeeper has been making waves with his impressive reflexes, shot-stopping ability, and composure on the ball. Kinský began his football career in 2009 with FC Tempo Praha’s youth academy and later improved his skills at Bohemians Praha 1905 and FK Dukla Praha.
In 2021, he joined Slavia Prague, one of the best Czech club, and has since gained valuable first-team experience. During his loan stints, he played for MFK Vyškov and FK Pardubice, further developing his craft. In the 30 appearances, the keeper has managed to have 14 clean sheets, an impressive feat for the 21 year old.
Kinský has represented the Czech Republic across multiple youth levels, from U15 to U21, accumulating much needed international experience that has prepared him for the demands of Premier league football.

Antonín Kinský’s composure with the ball at his feet fits perfectly with Tottenham’s tactical approach, even though it has at times exposed their defence. His impressive clean sheet record adds to his reputation, as he has conceded only seven goals in 19 league games. This strong defensive performance stands in stark contrast to Spurs’ current struggles at the back, boosting Kinský as a likely candidate to step straight into the starting XI once his transfer is finalised.
