Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky is reportedly closing in on joining West Ham United on loan until the end of the 2025/26 season.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Antonin Kinsky is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers have been keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a solid goalkeeper in the winter transfer window. So, the 21-year-old Tottenham Hotspur shot-stopper has emerged as a target for the East London club.
The latest report has revealed that West Ham and Kinsky have struck an agreement on personal terms. With Tottenham ready to sanction the Czech goalkeeper’s departure once they secure adequate cover, a loan move to the London Stadium is on the cards for the youngster.
How has Antonin Kinsky fared at Tottenham?
Antonin Kinsky has had to bide his time since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Slavia Praha in January 2025. The 21-year-old received regular game time immediately after moving to the North London club, as Guglielmo Vicario was in the treatment room. However, the youngster has been a backup starter since the Italian international returned.
The player has managed only 180 minutes of game time in two outings thus far in the 2025/26 season, as Thomas Frank has only handed him opportunities in the EFL Cup. So, it is hardly surprising that widespread reports have linked Kinsky with a move away from Tottenham, with West Ham United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the winter transfer window.
Move across London on the horizon?
Recent reports have claimed that West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur may sanction a shock swap deal involving Antonin Kinsky and Mads Hermansen. The latest update has echoed that sentiment, as while Kinsky may join West Ham, Hermansen could move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, while the Lilywhites have held exploratory talks over a possible move to sign Hermansen, they have yet to step up their talks. Nevertheless, Kinsky is closing in on joining West Ham on loan until the end of the 2025/26 season after striking an agreement on personal terms.
Tottenham will allow the 21-year-old Czech goalkeeper to leave once they have secured “adequate cover” for Vicario. It will be interesting to see if Hermansen joins the North London club to allow Kinsky to replace him at West Ham.
