LONDON — Tottenham confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka on a free transfer on June 24, 2026. He is expected to join the club in July following the expiration of his contract with Burnley.

Dubravka, a 37-year-old Slovakia international, is anticipated to serve as a backup to 21-year-old Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky. This marks Tottenham's third free agent signing of the summer, following the additions of defenders Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi.

Dubravka has played 197 times in the Premier League, registering 51 clean sheets. He previously played for Newcastle United and Manchester United, and last season he played 35 times for Burnley in the Premier League.

"It's an exciting time for me, a new journey and new experience for me and my family," Dubravka said. "Everything moved pretty quickly and I'm really happy to be here."

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi stated that Dubravka possesses experience and a strong mentality. "I am very happy because Martin is a goalkeeper with big experience and a strong mentality," De Zerbi said. "He has very important qualities for me and will bring balance, leadership and competitiveness to our dressing room."

Why It Matters

The acquisition of Martin Dubravka on a free transfer adds an experienced goalkeeper to Tottenham's squad. His signing, along with two other free transfers for defenders Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, reflects the club's strategy for squad building during the summer transfer window. Dubravka's role as a backup to Antonin Kinsky indicates a move to bolster the goalkeeping position with a veteran presence while developing a younger player.
