Over the past year or so, Tottenham Hotspur fans have had to regularly put up with reports of Real Madrid interest in their star players.
Both Cristian Romero and Pedro Porro have been recipients of interest from Real given their strong form at Tottenham.
And whilst Ange Postecoglou would likely be loath to lose either, perhaps some Spurs fans may be tempted to cash-in on Porro, who isn’t proving to be the complete full-back in north London.
Porro struggled against Tamworth in the FA Cup, a defender who is brilliant in the final third, but is often found lacking at the other end of the pitch.
That being said, Tottenham are now being warned about the prospect of one their more recent signings one day swapping N17 for the Spanish capital.
Since he arrived at Spurs, Antonin Kinsky has made a very good impression, a young goalkeeper who is brilliant with his feet and showing a ton of potential overall.
However, Kinsky’s former teammate, Viktor Budinsky, has now warned Tottenham about one day losing their new goalkeeper to a ‘bigger club’, namely Real Madrid.
Budinsky played with Kinsky last season when the former Slavia Prague youngster was on loan at Pardubice in the Czech Republic second division.
Kinsky actually took the 31-year-old’s starting spot eventually, and in an interview in Monday’s printed edition of MF DNES, the goalkeeper has warned Spurs that they may only be a stepping stone.
Complimenting his old teammate, Budinsky said: “Great boy. Already at the first training session it was clear that he was different. Strong in the head, healthy, confident and purposeful. He can be even higher in three years.
Then speaking about Kinsky’s future, he continued: “At Real Madrid. Plus, he is learning Spanish, he’ll be ready, he won’t get lost there.
“When Tonda (Kinsky) came to us in Pardubice from Vyskov, who were playing in the second league, many would not have said that he would be in the Premier League within two years.
“And yet, I think Tottenham is an intermediate step for him, that an even bigger club is waiting for him.”
Of course, Tottenham supporters will rest assured that the club should be in a pretty healthy position were Kinsky ever to be the recipient of a big bid from Real.
In addition, Spurs also have Guglielmo Vicario to return from injury, who may not have been expecting his number one spot to be under threat.
Tottenham fans have loved Kinsky’s performances thus far, particularly given how confident he’s looked under the threat of opposition corners – something that’s become a problem for Vicario.
An astute January signing for Spurs, a rare success in a window that is seldom used well across the Premier League.
