Tottenham Hotspur could be about to do a potential swap deal involving Antonin Kinsky heading to West Ham United.
Kinsky has been linked with a move to West Ham, who are looking to sign a new goalkeeper in the final days of the January transfer window.
Change our mind… Kinsky should be starting ahead of Vicario!
Agree or disgree?
The 22-year-old has made just two appearances for Spurs this season and will be hoping to secure more minutes elsewhere.
However, Spurs would need a replacement for their backup goalkeeper, and the player being touted would be shocking for Thomas Frank’s squad.
Tottenham consider Antonin Kinsky and Mads Hermansen swap
Tottenham Hotspur are considering the idea of doing a loan swap deal involving Antonin Kinsky and Mads Hermansen, according to Sami Mokbel.
There is also interest from Tottenham in Sam Johnstone from Wolves; however, Nottingham Forest are complicating that deal by holding talks to sign Jose Sa.
Therefore, in a bid to land a replacement for Kinsky, Hermansen could be sent in the opposite direction.

Mokbel told Last Word On Spurs: “If West Ham want Kinsky that much, then Tottenham are going to have to find a solution somehow to let Kinsky go.
“But if it’s not Sam Johnstone, then yeah, I don’t quite know how they overcome that obstacle.
Finish the sentence: Mads Hermensen would be Tottenham’s worst signing since ______________
“Hermansen might be the one you know; it could be just a straight swap, but I look at that on the face of it, I just don’t see how that deal benefits either player.”
Five days remain for the deal to get over the line, and Spurs must decide which goalkeeper to proceed with in order to release the 22-year-old to West Ham.
Antonin Kinsky and Mads Hermansen would be an awful downgrade for Tottenham
Swapping Kinsky and Hermansen would be an awful downgrade for Tottenham, especially considering the way the latter performed earlier this season.
The Hammers signed the Danish goalkeeper from Leicester City in the summer, but quickly realised he was not good enough for the Premier League.
In his first four Premier League matches for the club, the 25-year-old conceded a staggering 11 goals, with his confidence looking shot to bits.
So the fact that Lange would even entertain such a player swap is a real concern, and there is no chance Hermansen should be joining Spurs.
Meanwhile, Kinsky has played just two EFL Cup matches this season, and Thomas Frank just hasn’t given him even close to a fair shot to prove himself.
