Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Zion Suzuki, who has made a superb early impression in the Premier League since his summer switch.

Antonin Kinsky played a key part in keeping Tottenham in the Premier League last season, with the 23-year-old playing all of the club’s final seven matches.

In fact, Roberto De Zerbi kept faith in Kinsky even when Guglielmo Vicario recovered from his injury, and following the Italian’s departure in the summer, the Czech goalkeeper was made the undisputed number one and given a new contract.

While Kinsky has had a couple of shaky moments this season, overall, he has repaid De Zerbi’s faith, proving himself to be a competent shot-stopper and exceptional at playing out from the back.

However, it has now been claimed that the Lilywhites want to upgrade on the former Slavia Prague man by signing one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League.

Tottenham are one of several big clubs eyeing move for Aston Villa’s Zion Suzuki

Zion Suzuki has made an excellent impression at Aston Villa after replacing long-term number one Emi Martinez in the summer.

According to TEAMtalk, the Japanese goalkeeper is already in the sights of Tottenham, who have been impressed by the impact he has made at Villa Park.

The report says that Spurs are ‘a club to watch’ in the race for Suzuki, who is earning rave reviews, with the Lilywhites said to be keeping a ‘particularly close eye’ on the 24-year-old.

It is suggested that Tottenham are watching the former Parma man due to ‘concerns surrounding the long-term prospects of Kinsky’.

However, Spurs will face significant competition if they try to prise Suzuki away from Villa Park next year. The Japanese goalkeeper is also on the radar of Arsenal, Man City, and Liverpool.

Suzuki’s ability to operate as a sweeper-keeper and his impressive distribution have caught the eye of several top clubs, with Real Madrid and PSG also keeping tabs on him.

Spurs may have to pay a world-record fee to land Suzuki

TEAMtalk reveal that Villa are not concerned about losing their prized asset, having tied him down to a five-year deal after signing him for £30m in the summer.

Sources at Villa Park believe that Suzuki is arguably the most exciting goalkeeping talent in world football and have been delighted with the impact he has made.

The Japanese star is central to Unai Emery’s long-term plans and the Midlands club expect him to eventually become the most expensive goalkeeper in football history, as interest grows in his services.

The current world-record fee for a goalkeeper is the £70m Chelsea paid to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao back in 2018.
