Dubravka’s arrival on a free transfer allows the club to bring in a experienced reinforcement while allocating their primary financial resources toward restructuring other areas of De Zerbi’s tactical system.
Dubravka has vast Premier League experience
In securing Dubravka, Tottenham are gaining a proven veteran with nearly a decade of experience at the highest level of English football.
Beyond his recent 35-match campaign with Burnley, the Slovakian spent six highly successful years at Newcastle United, where he made over 130 top-flight appearances, won the club’s Player of the Year award, and helped guide them through intense top-flight battles.
He also enjoyed a brief spell at Manchester United, providing him with a deep understanding of the pressures associated with playing for a “Big Six” club.

Despite a horror Champions League debut vs Atletico Madrid, the 23-year-old took over the mantle in the latter half of the campaign and finished the season in stellar fashion, earning rave reviews and a nomination for the Premier League Save of the Season.
Kinsky’s exceptional individual performances were crucial in helping navigating Spurs through an incredibly turbulent period, proving his long-term potential to the hierarchy.
Signing a proven, reliable veteran like Dubravka will give Kinsky the safety net and mentorship needed to completely establish himself, locking down the position while securing the club’s defensive depth.
