Antonin Kinsky has had quite a baptism of fire in English football having played Premier League leaders Liverpool on his debut and then a real battle against non-league Tamworth FC.

But Kinsky has come out the other side with two clean sheets now to his name in Tottenham Hotspur colours.

S⛎purs signed Kinsky in a deal worth around £12.5 million from Slavia Prague and already it looks like a steal for Ange Postecoglou’s team.

The 21-year-old is expected to challenge Guglielmo Vicario for his number-one🐭 shirt when the Italian eventually retꦺurns from injury following another impressive display.

Tottenham fans are impressed by Antonin Kinsky

Tottenham fans were impressed by Antonin Kinsky’s dominant ability inside his penalty area – something which has been a major concern for Guglielmo Vicario. Vicario has struggled to deal with set-pieces and has been targeted by opposition players after it was highlighted how poor the Italia෴n𒊎 had become.

But in a very physical game and against a team with a dangerous long throw, Kinksy had very few issues against the non-le🌟ague side. The goalkeeper made an impressive five high claims throughout the match as he managed to deal with Tom Tanks’ long throw-ins.

After the win against Tamworth, Spurs supporters took to X to share their admiration for how well their latest addition com𒁃mande𓂃d his penalty area.

One supporter said: “Kins𝐆ky is light years ahead of Vicario when it comes to claiming balls in the air.”

“Kinsky I just saw that catch from a corner and pitch-perfect kick to W𝕴erner. We are noticing,” 💖added another fan.

There was more big praise for the club’s new number 31: “The only real positive was the way in which Kinsky dealt with the long throws and set pieces. A b𒉰it of a baptism of fire for him starting at Liverpool, a physical game today and t🐎hen again in the North London Derby. So far has dealt with everything superbly.”

“Kinsky has handled those mental throw-ins and corners on the goal line well. Get the🐭 feeling that if Vicario was in goal we’d be 1-0 down,” another aღdded.

Antonin Kinsky proves Tottenham’s biggest positive vs Tamworth

Kinsky is certainly making quite an impression in his first two matches and his stats agaౠinst Tamworth show how he wa🍸s the team’s biggest positive.

The Czech Republic shot-stopper made two saves, five high claims and completed 27 pas🦄ses out of the 30 he attempted.
