Tottenham have signed Czech U21 goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague on a contract lasting until 2031.
Spurs will reportedly pay £12.5million for the stopper, who will help address some of their concerns between the sticks, where they are currently facing a selection crisis.
First-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is out injured after breaking his ankle during Tottenham's 4-0 win over Manchester City in November.
Vicario's absence is seen as a major reason for Spurs' decline in form, having won just two of their 11 games in all competitions since leaving the team.
Back-up Fraser Forster has kept just one clean sheet, against bottom-of-the-league Southampton in December, but was also forced to withdraw from the squad for Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Newcastle.

As a result, Brandon Austin made his professional debut for the club at the age of 25, having been a senior player there since 2017 without making an appearance.
Austin conceded twice in the first team and after the arrival of Kinsky it seems doubtful whether he will get another chance in the competition.
The Czech goalkeeper has made 29 appearances in all competitions this season, keeping 14 clean sheets.
The 21-year-old could make his debut for the club in the next match against Tamworth on January 12, while his competitive debut could come at home to Arsenal in the North London derby three days later.
