Antonin Kinsky could leave Tottenham Hotspur for good in the summer.
The Czech goalkeeper has featured just four times in all competitions this season, playing second fiddle to Guglielmo Vicario.
The Italian has been linked with an exit, with Inter Milan interested in bringing him back to his homeland after a miserable campaign in North London.
Kinsky may not be safe, though, even if the number one departs, as he has not impressed when called upon, and that was the case when he started the 1-0 loss to Sunderland last time out.
Tottenham could see both goalkeepers leave, which would leave them needing two new players between the sticks.

What was said about Kinsky’s future at Tottenham?
John Wenham believes that Tottenham will get one of James Trafford or Dean Henderson in the summer, which will allow both their current goalkeepers to move on.
Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “I could see both going permanently. I haven’t seen enough, really. When he has played, he’s underperformed, and he had that huge, shocking moment against Atletico Madrid.
“I think it’s probably better for him if he just goes and restarts his career somewhere else.
“I mean, next season we’re going to have no Europe either, there’s going to be even less games, less opportunities for him to play.
“I think Tottenham would be wise to move both of them on, bringing in the established number one. If that’s James Trafford, and you have to pay £40 million, so be it.
“I know Man City have paid £28 million in the summer, so they’ll be looking for a little bit on top, but that’s your number one keeper, ideally for the next 10 years – he’s only 23.
“So you go out, you get him done, and then maybe an older English keeper as the backup as well.”
Why a permanent exit makes sense
It is hard to see Kinsky turning it around in N17, especially after that disastrous showing against Diego Simeone’s side.
He just does not have the confidence, in terms of both in himself, or that he inspires in the defence to be the starter on a regular basis.
Wenham is probably right, a permanent exit looks like the best possible solution for all parties when the time comes.
