[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Tottenham Hotspur’s winter transfer signing, goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, has obtained a work permit, making him eligible to play in the League Cup semifinal against Liverpool. Last Sunday, Tottenham officially announced the signing of 21-year-old Czech goalkeeper Kinsky for a total transfer fee of around £12.5 million, but the player had been waiting for his work permit to train with the first team. Previously, Tottenham’s first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario underwent ankle surgery after a fracture and is expected to be out until late February. Additionally, second-choice goalkeeper Fraser Forster also missed the match against Newcastle United due to illness, with Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou stating he was “bedridden.” Subsequently, third-choice goalkeeper Brandon Austin made his debut for Tottenham in the match against Newcastle. Reports suggest that if Forster is still unable to recover in time for the match against Liverpool, Austin will compete with Kinsky for the starting position. It remains to be seen how Tottenham fans feel about this situation.
