It's not just new signings that Tottenham are dealing with at the moment, as they've now extended the contract of one of their stars for another five years.

Spurs have been heavily linked with new additions in recent weeks as they look to turn things around after a disappointing few years.

Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, and Jan-Paul Van Hecke have all signed on the dotted line at Spurs, while they also have interest in a host of other players.

West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes is one player they are pushing to sign, though they face competition from Manchester United.

It's already been a busy window for the North London club, and they don't appear to be slowing down in terms of new additions and tieing down their current players.

Romano: Tottenham Star Signs 5-Year Deal

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky has signed a new five-year contract at the club. He's set to be the starting goalkeeper under Roberto De Zerbi.

Kinsky, described as 'phenomenal' by Dominic Solanke, did go through some difficult spells at Spurs last season, but he turned a corner under De Zerbi, who showed a lot of faith in him.

Tottenham also have the option to extend Kinsky's deal by another year, so they are clearly backing him long-term.

Guglielmo Vicario is set to leave the club, with Kinsky retaining the number one shirt.

Big Show of Faith From De Zerbi

It's a huge show of faith from Tottenham and De Zerbi to make Kinsky the number one goalkeeper heading into the new season.

The youngster has struggled to cement a regular place as Tottenham's number one.

After a nightmare game against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, where Igor Tudor substituted him in the first half, it looked like his Spurs career could be over.

Since then, he has rapidly turned things around, especially under De Zerbi, who has given him plenty of opportunities.

With Vicario likely to head through the exit door, Tottenham now have their number one goalkeeper sorted heading into the new season.
