Romano: Spurs sign back up keeper for Kinsky

The suggestion that Tottenham means business is gathering pace, with another key signing having been made as Fabrizio Romano announces that Martin Dubravka is joining Tottenham.

The deal is agreed for former Burnley and Man United goalkeeper to sign 37-year-old goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka on a free transfer from Burnley; his contract expires in a week, on 30 June 2026.

Martin will provide experienced backup to Antonín Kinský, who is widely expected to become the No. 1 after Guglielmo Vicario’s likely departure this summer.

Dúbravka has solid Premier League experience, primarily with Newcastle, plus a loan at Man United and a recent time at Burnley, where he played 35 games last season. He’s seen as a low-risk, reliable veteran option - whereas the mood around Guglielmo Vicario is that he is leaving this summer, having largely worn out his welcome.

The remonstrating with officials and his own players will not be missed.

Meanwhile, Cuti Romero has expressed interest in playing in La Liga and is reportedly eager for a fresh start outside England. He has grown frustrated with Tottenham’s recent struggles, which obviously include relegation concerns last season.

He is no longer seen as untouchable under manager Roberto De Zerbi. Spurs are actively pursuing replacements, and it is widely believed that they are open to selling their captain to facilitate squad changes.

Reliable sources, such as Fabrizio Romano, have highlighted serious chances of an exit this summer, with a “feeling” among involved parties that it’s time for him to move on. Top clubs have made calls.

Now, Sky Sport’s Andrew Bridge via Last Word On Spurs says that the club have made their decision.

“There’s an admission and acceptance that maybe this is the right time to part, but how many clubs will want to pay the money Spurs will want for him?”

For me, he needs to move on, and a new era requires fresh faces.

The fee will look after itself, as he is still respected abroad. This is a great time to sell.

Good to see the weak being moved on.
