Tottenham Hotspur are furious that the club are about to lose Antonin Kinsky on loan to West Ham United, with an option to buy.
Kinsky was only signed back in January last year, and now the North London club are ready to offload him to one of their London rivals.
Fill in the blank: Tottenham are making a __________ decision sending Kinsky to West Ham with an option to buy…
The 22-year-old has not played much football at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, especially this season, making just two appearances in the EFL Cup.
Now, he is set to leave for the London Stadium, and Spurs’ supporters are not happy with Johan Lange for agreeing to the deal.
West Ham United agree Antonin Kinsky deal with Tottenham
West Ham United have agreed a deal to sign Antonin Kinsky from Tottenham Hotspur, according to Matteo Moretto.
The Hammers have agreed to sign the Czech youth international on loan with the option to buy him at the end of the season.
In January 2025, Spurs signed the goalkeeper from Slavia Prague for £13 million, but since then, he has made just 12 appearances in total.

Johan Lange and Thomas Frank are now content with allowing him to leave, and will do so on a potentially permanent basis.
That leaves Tottenham with Guglielmo Vicario and Brandon Austin as their remaining two goalkeepers for the rest of the season.
Tottenham could replace Vicario in the summer, but now, they will need to scour the market for a second goalkeeper as a replacement for Kinsky.
Tottenham fans are furious with the Antonin Kinsky deal
It’s fair to say that Tottenham’s fans are furious with the decision to let Kinsky leave on loan with a buy option.
West Ham are just eight points behind Frank’s team right now, and Tottenham have a hard run of fixtures coming up, meaning they could soon become a relegation rival.
Fill in the blank: Johan Lange has done a _________ job at Tottenham…
After hearing about the deal, Spurs fans took to social media, with one saying: “Strengthening a team that could very well be above us in a couple of weeks is certainly something.”
“Any reason why we’re giving our rival our best keeper?” questioned another supporter.
A third fan added: “Absolutely mental. Favouring a 30-year-old, who can barely stay on his feet during corners, is shocking.”
Another added: “So our backup keeper is going to be Brandon Austin? Meanwhile, we strengthen a relegation rival with a young keeper who improves their starting 11.”
There were further questions raised over the decision: “I said Lange will damage our squad. We can’t go selling off our young players. Let’s actually develop them, give them a chance and then decide!”
Finally, another fan stated: “Can someone explain to me what on earth we are doing in this transfer window?”
