When I joined 18 months ago, my expectations were to fight for my place in the team and to wear this shirt every week. It\u2019s been a real journey to get here and a nice story already, and I\u2019m looking forward to what lies ahead over the next months and years. Everyone around the club feels that we can have a successful season and I want to contribute to that. We want to give the fans what they want and what this club deserves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SEI288815037.jpeg\"  loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Kinsky endured a nightmare evening against Atletico Madrid in March\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 ggpMaE inline-gallery-btn\"\/>Kinsky endured a nightmare evening against Atletico Madrid in March (AFP\/Getty)<\/p>\n<p>It is understood that Italy goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is expected to depart Spurs this summer, paving the way for Kinsky to become the first-choice stopper, with 37-year-old Martin Dubravka \u2013 signed last week on a free transfer from Burnley \u2013 providing both support and competition.<\/p>\n<p>Manager Roberto De Zerbi added: &#8220;Toni was outstanding over the final seven games of the season and a key part of what we achieved in that period. I am delighted he has committed his future to the club. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has earned this new contract, not only with his performances but also his professionalism and desire to improve. We have huge belief in what Toni can become. He is still young, has enormous potential and I know that Spurs is the perfect place for him to continue to develop into one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48121,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[21330,10187,6278,5442,2383,3955,18620,18619,5441,16087,21327,9515,82,6279,21329,10186,21328,14281,3402,5448,10189,1743,10188,314,5446,21326,841],"class_list":["post-48120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-madrid","tag-antonin-kinsky","tag-celebration","tag-club-soccer","tag-color-image","tag-england","tag-english-premier-league","tag-full-body-isolated","tag-full-length","tag-horizontal","tag-incidental-people","tag-leeds-united-f-c","tag-london-england","tag-madrid","tag-match-sport","tag-mathys-tel","tag-motion","tag-new-tottenham-hotspur-stadium","tag-one-person","tag-people","tag-photography","tag-scoring-a-goal","tag-soccer","tag-soccer-player","tag-sport","tag-sports-team","tag-tottenham-hotspur-f-c","tag-uk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
