A few days ago you might have seen rumors floating around the Spurs-o-sphere linking Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> with an inexplicable loan to Lille in Ligue 1. The idea was pretty straight forward \u2014 Lille just sold their starting keeper, Lucas Chevalier, to PSG in a deal worth \u20ac40m, and hence are on the lookout for a new starter between the sticks. Kinsky was mooted as an option \u2014 he\u2019s a talented young keeper who, the thought was, is stuck behind Guglielmo Vicario at Tottenham. So let\u2019s get him in on loan!<\/p>\n

This is stupid for a couple of reasons. First, Tottenham are in four competitions including the Champions League<\/a>, and injuries happen so there\u2019s going to be plenty of competitions and opportunities not only for Kinsky to play, but also to push Vicario for a starting job. Secondly, while letting Kinsky go out on loan would mean first team, every week football for the 23-year old Czech keeper, it would mean if something happened to Vicario, Tottenham\u2019s keeper options would be Brandon Austin and U21 keeper Luca Gunter.<\/p>\n

Not great! Thankfully, according to a source from Kinsky\u2019s home country, it\u2019s all bogus. <\/p>\n

Stephan Kubin, writing for Infotbal.cz, say that there are no negotiations between Tottenham and any other club happening at the moment<\/a>, which makes sense considering Kinsky is currently in Hong Kong with the rest of Spurs preparing for a ridiculous preseason friendly against Arsenal. <\/p>\n

What about after the tour? \u201cNothing can be ruled out,\u201d says the article, but they view it as incredibly unlikely, considering how much it would weaken Tottenham at the keeper position, and that it\u2019s hard to imagine a scenario where they would allow Kinsky to leave the club on loan.<\/p>\n

Look, it makes sense that the French media might grasp onto a fleeting rumor about a French club that just sold its starting keeper to the league giants might be interested in bringing in Spurs\u2019 No. 2. That would make a lot of good sense for Lille. The problem is it doesn\u2019t make a lick of sense for Tottenham, even if Kinsky wanted the move. Calling it right now \u2014 this doesn\u2019t happen. And if I\u2019m wrong about this, then I\u2019m going to have some serious concerns about what kind of operation Johan Lange is running over there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A few days ago you might have seen rumors floating around the Spurs-o-sphere linking Tottenham Hotspur with an…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":102358,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[15709,37874,66520,3723,204,66522,66523,54716,66521,6534,221,51060,62,447,37876,37875,35222,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-102357","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-captain","9":"tag-cartilage","10":"tag-czech","11":"tag-free","12":"tag-front-page","13":"tag-kinsky","14":"tag-lille","15":"tag-loan","16":"tag-rubbish","17":"tag-rumors","18":"tag-soccer","19":"tag-sources","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-to","22":"tag-tottenham-hotspur-transfer-news-rumours","23":"tag-tottenham-hotspur-transfers-rumors","24":"tag-transfer-rumors","25":"tag-united-states","26":"tag-unitedstates","27":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114937167522812910","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
