Tottenham's hierarchy are starting to realise that the club made a significant strategic blunder in strengthening a key position during the summer transfer window. After a major spending spree across almost all areas, the London club unexpectedly weakened their goalkeeping department.
Following the loan departure of Guglielmo Vicario to Juventus, Spurs placed their trust in Antonin Kinski as their starting goalkeeper, with veteran Martin Dubravka brought in as backup. This decision appeared puzzling given the club's colossal spending and the availability of other options on the market — for instance, James Trafford moved from Manchester City to Leeds United for £45 million and helped his new side build one of the most solid defences in the league. Meanwhile, Tottenham have found themselves stuck at the bottom of the league table, with Kinski's performances already coming under serious scrutiny.
Insiders report that Spurs' bosses are doubting whether the young keeper is ready to perform at the required level right now, prompting the club to start weighing up alternatives for the summer of 2027.
Interest in Konstantinos Tsoulakis
One of the primary candidates for bolstering the position is Hull City's keeper Konstantinos Tsoulakis. The 23-year-old Greek international joined Hull from Olympiacos for £20 million and has immediately made an impact, delivering a series of clean sheets at the start of the season. His reliable performances have caught the attention of Tottenham's scouts, who have watched him in action several times.
However, Tottenham will face stiff competition: Liverpool are also closely monitoring the situation. The Merseyside club sees Tsoulakis as a potential replacement for Alisson, whose contract expires next summer, should they decide not to pursue Giorgi Mamardashvili.
