Tottenham Hotspur may soon be forced into a decision over the future of one of their fringe players, with interest beginning to build from overseas and uncertainty surrounding his role in north London.
Antonin Kinsky has found game time hard to come by since his move to Tottenham Hotspur last winter window.
That is often the struggle with second-choice goalkeepers, who need to bide their time and wait in the wings while the first choice gets most of the minutes.
Thomas Frank has revealed that Kinsky is not happy being in the wings, and the Czech youngster is now attracting interest from elsewhere.
Tottenham consider Antonin Kinsky loan decision
This is according to Sabah (as relayed by Sport Witness), who report that Tottenham’s Antonin Kinsky is an alternative option for Turkish side Besiktas, who are looking to sign a goalkeeper during the winter window.
It is understood that the Turkish-based side has already made contact with the Spurs’ number two shot-stopper ahead of what could be another winter move for the Czech international.
Kinsky, 22, has played 180 minutes of EFL Cup football this season, and it is believed that Spurs officials have been asked whether they are prepared to loan the young goalkeeper out.

Tottenham have not dismissed it immediately, with the Istanbul club now reported to be waiting on a final decision from north London.
Spurs goalkeeper linked as Chelsea situation complicates move
Sabah also explained that Kinsky is not the only goalkeeper Besiktas is interested in.
In fact, the Spurs goalkeeper is only an alternative to their main target, Chelsea’s Filip Jorgensen, who they have been working hard to secure and have even offered an 18-month loan with a purchase option.
However, Enzo Maresca and Chelsea parting ways has created uncertainty over the new manager’s stance, stalling that move and leading to Kinsky becoming an option.
