A West Ham United insider has revealed that the East London club and Tottenham Hotspur are in talks over a swap deal involving two players who have hardly featured for either club this season.
Mohammed Kudus’ move to Spurs was the first time in 14 years that the two clubs did business, and it now appears that more deals may be about to follow this transfer window.
Over recent days, we have found out that Tottenham Hotspur are now preparing to make an offer for West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville.
Now, it has emerged that the two London rivals are also discussing a direct swap deal.
Tottenham and West Ham are holding talks over a goalkeeper swap deal
A social media account, ‘ExWHUEmployee’, which regularly breaks news regarding the Hammers’ transfer dealings, has now revealed that the East London club are in talks with Spurs over an unusual loan swap deal.
It has been claimed that the two clubs are discussing swapping their backup goalkeepers, Mads Hermansen and Antonin Kinsky, in loan deals until the end of the campaign.
ExWHUEmployee told The West Ham Way: “West Ham are currently in talks over a loan swap deal with Spurs involving our goalkeepers. The move would see Kinsky come to West Ham on loan till the end of the season and Mads Hermansen to Spurs on a similar deal.
“At first it sounded quite ridiculous to me, but Thomas Frank is said to rate Mads Hermansen, and Nuno likes Antonin Kinsky, who played at Slavia Prague with El Hadji Malick Diouf, is said to be keen on the move. We have been given further transfer news, which we will post this evening.”
Does this confirm Antonin Kinsky is not rated at Spurs?
Kinsky’s only two appearances this season have come in the Carabao Cup, despite Guglielmo Vicario not setting the world alight this term, and the Spurs goalkeeper has been linked with a move away this window.
Some reports over recent months have claimed that Kinsky has not impressed Thomas Frank and his coaching staff in training.
If Tottenham are indeed in talks over a swap loan deal for the Czech goalkeeper, that may come as confirmation that the 22-year-old does not have a future at N17 under the current regime.
