Tottenham are being ‘very greedy’ as French club set sights on Ange Postecoglou signing
A Tottenham Hotspur bench player is open to moving to Lille, but the Premier League club’s demands are making the transfer very difficult for the Ligue 1 side.
While there has been a lot of speculation regarding Tottenham’s backline, midfield and forward line after Thomas Frank arrived through the door, it appears that the Dane is happy with the goalkeeping options at his disposal for now.
The Lilywhites are seemingly not in the market for a shot-stopper, with Spurs set to enter the season with Guglielmo Vicario as their number one and January signing, Antonin Kinsky, as his understudy.
Some have speculated about whether Kinsky might displace Vicario as Tottenham’s number one, given that Frank’s system relies on the goalkeeper to often beat the opposition’s first line of press with balls over the top to the full-back or midfielders.
Tottenham keeper Antonin Kinsky is wanted by Lille
L’Equipe have now claimed that the Czech goalkeeper is of interest to Lille, who are looking for a new number one.
Their current goalkeeper, Lucas Chevalier, is about to join Paris Saint-Germain, and they have identified Kinsky as a potential replacement.
Lille have made a loan approach for the Tottenham Hotspur man, and it is asserted that the 22-year-old is interested in a temporary switch to Stade Pierre Mauroy.
However, the outlet claims that Spurs are being ‘very greedy’ in their demands, which is forcing Lille to look at other options, including Marseille’s Jeffrey De Lange, and Ricardo Velho, who plays for Portuguese tier 2 club Farense.
Tottenham cannot afford to let Kinsky leave
One can understand why Kinsky is in favour of a loan move as the youngster needs game time in order to develop into a finished product.
However, if Tottenham let the 22-year-old go at this stage of the transfer window, it would leave the club with very little time to secure a replacement.
Given that Spurs are also in need of reinforcements across many other areas of the pitch, they may not be too keen on the idea of loaning out Kinsky.
