Antonin Kinsky's future at Tottenham Hotspur looked bleak just a few months back.

However, now the Czech shot-stopper is set for a season as Roberto De Zerbi's number one.

Faith in the goalkeeper has been shown by the higher-ups, completing a remarkable turnaround since his performance away at Atletico Madrid.

Kinsky has signed a new contract for Tottenham, keeping his long-term future at N17 ahead of next season.

His Tottenham teammates have been reacting to the news over social media, including Xavi Simons.

Now, with those fresh terms penned, how long will he remain in North London?

How long is Antonin Kinsky's Tottenham contract?

Kinsky's new deal for the Lilywhites is a five-year deal, which will keep him in N17 until 2031.

Additionally, according to Sky Sports, Tottenham also have an option to extend the deal by one further year.

Guglielmo Vicario looks to be leaving Tottenham and that will leave the 23-year-old as the number one for De Zerbi.

The already signed Martin Dubravka will battle him for that spot. However, Kinsky's new deal has sparked instant reactions from his fellow teammates.

Xavi Simons, Kevin Danso and Pedro Porro were all among the first to like the announcement on Tottenham's Instagram within the first 40 minutes of the post.

Kinsky has certainly come a long way since that performance at the Wanda Metropolitano, and the instant reaction from his fellow Spurs teammates highlights that redemption.

It is a situation that many would not have foreseen a few months back, with it looking likely Kinsky's career at Tottenham was dead and buried.

However, much like Tottenham itself, De Zerbi has breathed new life into the Czech.

Inside Kinsky's Tottenham redepmption

When Tottenham needed Kinsky to step up to the plate in the Premier League run-in, the Czech shot-stopper did so in a big way.

His performances in goal helped De Zerbi's pick up 11 points from the final 21 on offer.

In truth, it was those final weeks of the season that have ultimately played dividends for the 23-year-old.

If he failed to prove he was ready, following the treatment he received under Igor Tudor, a route back in North London would have looked to be quite difficult.

Nonetheless, Spurs now have their two goalkeepers heading into next season in Kinsky and Dubravka.

Meanwhile, Brandon Austin looks poised to keep his role as Tottenham's third-choice shot-stopper.
