With just over a month since the winter transfer window closed, Tottenham Hotspur’s new signings have had time to make their mark. At first glance, the club’s business appeared to be shrewd, bringing in players who seemed to address key areas of concern. However, as time has passed, it’s fair to say that none of the three arrivals—Antonín Kinský, Mathys Tel, and Kevin Danso—have yet fully justified their signings.Kinský’s Rollercoaster StartAntonín Kinský initially looked like a revelation, delivering a stellar debut performance against Liverpool that won him widespread acclaim from both fans and pundits. However, as the weeks progressed, errors started creeping into his game. His decision-making became inconsistent, leading to costly mistakes that eroded the early confidence in him. By the time Guglielmo Vicario returned to full fitness, there was little doubt about who should be the club’s first-choice goalkeeper, with Kinský finding himself back on the bench.Tel’s Slow IntegrationMathys Tel’s arrival generated significant excitement, with many expecting the young French forward to provide an additional attacking spark. However, his impact has been underwhelming so far. In his first six appearances, Tel has managed just one consolation goal and has struggled to force his way into the starting lineup. His lack of output raises concerns about whether he can adapt quickly enough to the Premier League’s intensity and physicality.Danso’s Inconsistent PerformancesOf the three signings, Kevin Danso arguably had the clearest path to regular game time, given Spurs’ ongoing defensive injury crisis. His early performances were solid, suggesting he could be a reliable addition to the backline. However, as the season has progressed, criticism has begun to mount over his inconsistency. The Austrian defender has shown glimpses of quality, but recent displays have highlighted areas where he needs to improve, particularly in positioning and composure under pressure.
