However, clubs such as Bayern Munich are also interested in the player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If the Dutch champions are serious about him, it would be reasonable to assume that the Dutch goalkeeper would be attracted to the idea of \u200b\u200bjoining the German champions. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will be able to convince the player to join him instead.<\/p>\n<p><b>Want more catchoffside coverage?

Antonin Kinski had a disappointing performance against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, finding it difficult to convert into chances. Tottenham cannot trust him as their first-choice goalkeeper next season. They need a more reliable option and the Dutch international would be ideal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At 23 years old, he is at the peak of his career and now is the perfect time to take on new challenges and join a bigger club. Tottenham could offer him a platform to compete in Europe in the future and fight for trophies. Verbruggen is also rumored to be linked with Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s no secret that Tottenham need to sign a quality goalkeeper in the summer, with Bert Verbruggen among their targets.
