Tottenham Hotspur are in advanced talks to sign goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
The 37-year-old is a free agent after Burnley confirmed on June 10 that he will leave the club following the expiration of his contract at the end of this month.
Tottenham have been looking to add a reserve goalkeeper, with Brighton & Hove Albion’s Jason Steele among the names considered. Guglielmo Vicario has spent the majority of his three seasons in north London as first-choice goalkeeper though underwent hernia surgery in the spring. Antonin Kinsky started Spurs’ last seven games of the season, helping the side avoid relegation, and retained the starting role after Vicario returned for the team’s final two matches.
Vicario’s future at Tottenham is uncertain, with Kinsky a candidate to assume the No 1 position full-time. Academy graduate Brandon Austin has served as the team’s third-choice goalkeeper.
Dubravka made 35 Premier League appearances for Burnley last season, keeping four clean sheets, but was unable to prevent the side from finishing 19th in the table and being relegated to the Championship.
He signed a one-year deal at Turf Moor in August after spending seven-and-a-half years with Newcastle United. Dubravka had spells with clubs in his native Slovakia, Denmark and the Czech Republic before joining Newcastle on loan in January 2018. The move was made permanent that summer and he went on to feature 179 times on Tyneside. He had a brief spell on loan at Manchester United in the first half of the 2022-23 campaign.
Dubravka has been capped 60 times by Slovakia.
